First Carder Method painting

drawmyface

March 2013 edited March 2013 in Post Your Paintings

I've been painting portraits of people and animals for a while, but colour has always been a struggle for me. This is my first painting using the Carder Method, and while far from perfect, mixing the right colours was much easier than ever before.

I did find it hard to define colour groups because there's so much going on within the fur, but overall I'm quite happy with it.

Great subject, great painting! Defining color groups becomes a little easier with time, there are always way fewer than you first think. Congratulations!

Very nice Dan. I like the painterly fashion of your work. It is loose but still detailed. Great job. =D>

The expectant pose and the expression are beautiful.

The white on the right paw a little too bright?

Amazing! Fur is always a complicated matter (I struggle myself with it).
You captured the expression. I love it.
