The Oil Painter's Studio

What a joy painting such a happy Pooch…
I couldn’t help but fall in love with Montana ❤ His smiling face and bright eyes touch my soul.
I mixed some titanium white, a tiny bit of transparent red oxide and a tiny dash ultramarine blue and a tiny dash of yellow ochre for the white fur; to which I ad a dash of gray made up of burnt umber and ultramarine blue. It’s a little tricky working the dark and the light fur without greying the black. I used a clean brush with every stroke from black into the white fur so that I didn’t grey any of the black fur. I left little bits of the underpainting showing through and that warms it up from the inside out.
Hope you enjoyed the progress picks and how I develop a painting. More to come!
