Painting The Pug


Just a quick post. I started a painting the other day. I like to paint things I love or things that inspire me, calm me or make me smile, so what better subject than The Pug. 12x12 acrylic on canvas. No special brushes and cheap acrylics - some of them are just craft acrylics I had left over from the fern wall.

I am just getting started and nowhere near being happy with it yet, but it's coming along. He just has sooooooo many wrinkles, spots, and folds. It's going to take me forever.... I'm going to wait until she's a bit older to paint the Princess Stella Pug, but that's probably how long it will take me to finish this one anyway!!!

Looks awesome Trace!

I love the deep red in the background it makes the picture stand out very nicely especially with the colours you have used this far.

LOVE IT! That's radical.

12 x 12 is so small! That pieces deserves a gigantor canvas! Come on - 36 x 36. That's beautiful.

Way to go!
