Dogs and Sticks

5.5x8.5 watercolor and ink (Pigma Micron 01 pen) on Masters sketchbook paper drawn yesterday and painted today of two dogs playing in the snow.  They were included in the images presented online for a weekend drawing event I was hosting.  No one else selected them so I thought a sketchbook presentation would be great.

Girl Friday dog - red golden retriever

6.25x8.5 watercolor on Langton 140 lb cold press paper and Daniel Smith paints: Quinacridone burnt orange and gold, UB, carbazole violet. It took 10-15 minutes to draw and 45 to paint wet on dry using 1/2" sable flat brush today for my daily painting. Friday was her name and she belonged to Jeanne on WetCanvas (image courtesy Jeanne); she was a red golden retriever and passed away in 2009.
