Description

Commissioned painting for an owner's beloved pet.
Afghan is a breed of dog, I believe her dog's name was Teddybear :)

12x18 on watercolor paper
Tea, acrylic wash (colors) and micron pen (BTW: GREAT BRAND for working with coloring, it doesn't bleed at all) for the original linework.

http://gymnopedie.livejournal.com/tag/tea+painting <- has some 'tea explinations' :)

PS: any drips and dribbles on the paper was actually carefully planned, I even purposefully 'bumped' the table I work on to get it to streak and go past my linework ;) I've never been one to color inside lines, even if I'm the one drawing them.

I'm just wondering about the name "Afghan".
However, lovely work anyway, despite minor errors.

wow, thanks for the comments everyone :)

Optical: I sent her a message, since she didn't list any errors, but saw them... No clue what they might be refering too, the commissioner sees nothing wrong, there for I don't see anything wrong ;)

Glad you noticed the curls Dakoo.. I had to figure out a way to sneak them in somehow ;)

Wow, very peaceful work…good colors, nice character, good composition... one minor crit though, the border looks a bit sloping (vertical side). Other than that, it’s perfect! ...hope to see more of your artwork! ^^,

Now this is watercolor. I wish I could make it do this for me. A great balance between spontaneity and control.

Very elegant and just.. wonderful!! I really love the tea + drips/dribbles effects, it gives this watercolour character and charm. It has so MUCH character!!
I'd love to have something like this on my walls, that's how much I like it.
