Digital Artistry - Glimmer (Portuguese Water Dog)

A dear friend of ours breeds and shows Portuguese Water Dogs. Her dogs are the same bloodline as Obama's dog "BO".

This is my attempt at painting a portrait of "Glimmer" who is a bit over a year old and on her way to her championship in the ring.

I did not realize how challenging this would be as a black dog. Black animals have a variety of tones and hues and they are best applied in layers...upon layer, upon layer. I created 26 layers in this portrait which was far more than any that I have done thus far in digital painting.

Now that this one is done, I doubt that I will be painting a black cat in a dark alley anytime soon.

Sippy's movie 26 shades of gray. A lot of effort for good results...
