Hi my friends!
I rarely paint with watercolors because I don't always have the right paper.

It so happened that I came across a photo of a dog taken by my Livejournal friend.
I wanted to paint it with watercolors
This is my watercolor set.
Yes, I had good Fabriano cotton paper in stock.

I wet the paper around the dog and mixed the cobalt with the ultramarine - I like to paint with complex shades of color

To paint over the light colors of the coat, I mixed light ocher and ultramarine - this combination gives a gray color with a hint of steel.

For reddish coats, I mixed cadmium yellow, ocher red, and a little bit of ultramarine here and there to make the rich color a little softer.
Those areas where the shadow fell, I made darker (added sienna), and in the illuminated places - a golden orange color.

I painted the nose, eye and mouth rims with burnt umber, the eyes with sienna, and the tongue with carmine.
I don't know how realistic the corgi portrait turned out to be, but my friend (who photographed the dog) loved it

Here is such a smiling and positive dog turned out!
With love...

I love animals, very very much and I loved this doggy, I would like to pet it haha. I don't know why but it reminded me of that giant cat that you had drawn, while I was looking for it I saw that I have missed many of your drawings because I am not so active on the site.

I hope that soon I will have a whole free day with good internet to sit down and read and see all your articles. My phone has gone a bit crazy and deleted a lot of apps and won't let me install anything anymore, so I can no longer see the pictures you have on instagram
