Her masters voice!

EDIT: My dry pic stitched into altered book with black 3mm ribbon :D

Today I have tried another of the FREE classes at Flutterbye .ning :D
This one is with Natasha, who is painting a simple portrait of her cat to add to her altered book. I have a dog...so I copied the style but replaced cat with soppy dog :D
Quick sketch onto gessoed card...
Add main body colour...
built up a bit of background...
added a bit more detail...
and a little more...
and finally some texture(scratching into wet paint, stencil clock faces,dabbing with mucky baby wipe), and shadow(not poop) where she is sitting :D...
just waiting by the front door for hubby to come in :D
I haven't put too much detailed work(door furniture etc) in the background because the dog(Meg) is the focus, and when it is dry I have to stitch it into my book!!!

The door is an irrelevance to Meg, it's what she can hear on the other side that is important to her!

    Even though you an only see the back, Meg looks as though she is waiting in sheer anticipation of who will come through that door. What a great piece of art Gina - love it.
    Have a wonderful weekend.
