Since I normally post something about an art project I’m working on every Friday, I’ll continue my “High Maintenance” thread this weekend or Monday.
I’ve been working on a portrait of a friend’s Doberman for the past few weeks — a black and tan dog on black paper. Should be simple, yes? But the light has to be optimal for this one — even more so than when I was working on the colocolo. The grays I’m using for the highlights are a lot more reflective than those brown shades I was using on the cat, so when the light is wrong, the picture goes crazy-looking. But I’m loving the way it’s turning out (even though the photos don’t do it justice).
This was after the first few days
