Emma Acrylic Painting

This painting is one of Emma. Emma was a cat that passed a few years ago and has been painted by many different artists locally. This painting is up at the local pet after care center here in Bellingham, Radiant Heart After-Care for Pets. This allows people to see the many different styles of pet portraits done by different artists.

Ginger and Jasper Acrylic Painting

These Cavalier King Charles Spaniels were so cute! They were also in two different photos and then placed in the same one. This one was a bit easier because the angles that they were at were very close to begin with.

In painting this my approach was to work from dark to light, really allowing the light values to pop.

Fatso & Shorty Acrylic Painting

These two were another cute pair that was fun to paint. They presented a bit of a challenge, as they were in different photos, that were taken from slightly different angles. I usually like to stick quite close to the reference material so the end painting is representative to the pet itself. in this case, we had a similar enough photo, I was able to compensate the angles and photoshop together a reference that looked accurate.

The background on this one was also a new adventure, and let me tell you, leaves are hard! Getting the correct balance of detail and blur to represent depth is quite difficult.
