I painted a Doberman named Wicked in watercolors!

Want a pet portrait done? My commissions are open!

I figured out a new technique with my watercolor brushes to make more realistic short/fine hairs. I am absolutely in love with this painting, I think it may be my best so far.

About my process:

So usually I’d use a cut up acrylic brush to get an uneven/jagged texture that creates strokes resembling when used to paint. This is great with long haired animals if they have flowing hair. With short haired dogs it doesn’t work as well because of the hundreds (thousands?) of tiny little strokes required to get the texture right. This time I used an actual watercolor brush (a smaller round brush) and would flick any excess water off so it was mostly dry (but with pigment) and splayed out kind of wildly (more or less depending on how sparse or heavy/dark I needed the hair to be in each area) I primarily used a Windsor & Newton Series-7 size 3 (finest sable). The paper is 9x12. Adjust your brush sizing accordingly. I used a white gel pen for corrections. Often it’s too bright for a particular area on a darker dog so I’ll often rub it in with my fingers to soften the contrast!

We had an AWESOME weekend!! Ashen took winner's bitch for a 5 point major at a specialty. 💜✨️ we got to hang with her breeder and Spirit (now 8 months old!). Just a great time overall.

The Midwest Borzoi Club put on two consecutive independent specialities this past Sat and I promised Margo if she finished in the ribbons at either of them she could be retired. She took me up on my offer and won first Award of Merit under breeder judge Patti Neale amongst an entry of 80+ borzoi and 40 champions. She showed more beautifully for me than ever before, and I’m so proud of us as a team!

I love this little big red dog so much. The end of my first show dog’s career is very bittersweet, but what a way to go out!

On Saturday (July 6, 2024) we ran up to WEC to hug some friends at the show, get the boy an adjustment, and cheer on some of our favorites. Afterward we went out to lunch at Texas Roadhouse and the boy was golden.
