This project assignment was a pet portrait. I did a portrait of my puppy, Cooper. I used oils. To start off the piece, I did a red acrylic backwash. Then I painted the background and the wood floor. I then started laying the fur by putting the darkest color down and then putting the next lightest color on top. I ended up adding purple into the fur to add depth. I struggled to get the shape of his face right. I think that his nose and eyes are too small in proportion to his head. Overall, this is not my favorite piece. I feel that the dog's fur is too yellow. Also I do not think that the eyes look as real as I had hoped. If I were to do this again, I would have added more texture into the wood. Also I would have taken more time to get the right shape of his face and head.
