Pet Rottweiller Portrait 04

You can see how one of the washes looks as it is still wet at his lower chest line area.

It is all just small areas of wet on wet paint application, with different tones of pigment until you get the result you are looking for. Over and over.

I can really darken areas now and to achieve really dark blacks I add reds, green and magenta for that extra oomph.

The brown areas of fur seem to become warm and his black hair has a beautiful rich black hue. His eyes are touched with gold and red flecks and a feeling of life appears in them. I remember this angel and wish I could give him life but I have done all I can. We miss you, Roscoe.
