Pool Pups Value Study

9x12 Tombow brush pen on Bristol board 100 lb done yesterday, a value study for a larger commission.  All 3 dogs are my client's rescue animals and the lower right dog is missing his left front leg.  For the full sheet watercolor I'll add a different background but still include a swimming pool.  The dark fellow is part boxer and bulldog while back guy is a golden retriever.  Often for a pet portrait to get to know the animals I will do a value study or small pencil sketch first.  Such fun!
