ORIGINAL DOG PORTRAITS

 

Hi, I love painting dogs and would be happy to discuss painting an Original Watercolour Pet Painting with you. Just reach out by email nora904@yahoo.com Send me 4-5 photos of your pet dog. (Closer up is best). Let me know the eye colour and if you want a collar and tag added to the Head and Shoulders painting. 

The Watercolour Dog Portraits are painted on paper, professionally adhered to a board. You will have a few choices for your background colour which you'll see around the edges of your painting.

They are READY TO HANG! Wire and hooks are on the back so, all you need is a nail and a wall. ; )

 

Finished Painting - 10x10" board. The painting is 8x8" and the border is 1"around. The board will sit out approximately 1" out from your wall.

Finished 3-4 weeks from confirmed commission start date.

Non-refundable down payment $50.

Dogs are so awesome! This German Shepherd has lots of warm and cool colours in his fur - so fun to paint in watercolour. And the title... was a no-brainer. ; )

This little hedgehog is trying to escape. Or that's what I thought... Turns out he was on his way to his new home. He was purchased as soon as I posted him on Instagram! And I found the perfect purple frame for him, to match his pink belly. ; )

My favourite dog is the awesome intelligent border collie!

Today, while looking for a portrait to paint, I found a picture of a border collie that had mistakenly made it's way into the people portrait folder. Then I thought... Hmm... maybe it wasn't a mistake. Obviously she was asking to be painted.

Dogs Rock

Sketching Dogs on cards to sell at the upcoming Arts and Crafts Show on Saturday. They're just waiting for some watercolour paint. ; )

companion

$60 - 5x7"original watercolour painting with 8x10"mat

I really enjoyed painting this patient little companion, with all his warm browns and oranges contrasting some cool blues. What a little honey bun!

Ginger

SOLD

I painted this little 5x7" watercolour commission for a new client. What a honey their dog is!! I love that her little front paw is off the ground as she runs towards her owner. : )

little field friend

$60 - 5x7"original watercolour painting with 8x10"mat. 

Despite the freezing rain here in Toronto, this little field friend is enjoying his warm backyard.  

This is the first time I've drawn and painted a mouse. I couldn't resist painting his super cute little pink nose. I welcome any excuse to use hot pink since, besides flowers, I don't get to dip into it much. : )

Dogs, Dogs, Dogs!

click on arrow for a 7 second slideshow ; )

As you can see, I've been sketching and painting dogs lately.

The slideshow was fun to put together, with help of the free slideshow app, although it's a bit tricky to line the photos up nicely, let alone remembering to take them along the way! It's not a great video, so I may upgrade to a better slideshow app...!

The four drawings were done in my sketchbook with 6B pencil.

Happy Year of the Dog!!

This little guy only paused for a moment, looked back in curiosity, then continued to run on home.

kindhearted

$150 - 9x12" original watercolour painting

This fellow was such a treat to paint! I added hints of blue cerulean to contrast with his warm brown and dark coat. Lots and lots of colours mixed in this one. 

Here's a close up of him:

in earnest

I'll do doing a Watercolour Demo for the North York Visual Artists, here in Toronto, at the end of the month. I will doing a painting of an animal... and so far I think I'll chose a dog. It's a rare subject to see for a demo and I think it will be of interest to the group. Also, this one is 11x14", which is big for me so stickin' with my New Year's Resolution to work bigger. : )

mittens
