"Hanna the Hound" Portrait

"OK, enough with the couch already. I can tell I’m done by the fact that I refuse to do anymore.

I’ve added three more glaze layers, and unfortunately, very little shows up on the screen. Now if you were here, you’d be far more impressed. (Seriously, though. All of the subtleties are lost when reduced to this size. There is actually quite a lot going on here, and the differences between this post and my last (believe it or not) is significant. Guess you’ll have to take me word for it.)

I’ve scheduled the dry-time just right. I’ll be ready to paint in Hanna on the weekend."

O
   Only took the time tonight to     
   finish her ear
  (almost ran out of paint! ),
  her chest, and one big, fat foot!

So far so good?

 

Another day of “work” as planned. As promised, I’ve covered the canvas. You finally start to get a sense of completion at this point, even though there are quite a lot of value corrections to be addressed with glazes. For example, virtually all of her “white”, from her ears back, is wrong.

The Completed Portriat of Hanna the Hound

the lovely Hanna is complete, but for the signing.
I spent the weekend glazing. Whereas the changes may not appear dramatic from the photos,
there is a lot more depth, light and
dimension in the work now.
