I love the expression on Cole’s face. He is just so sweet… reminds me of a lap dog or puppy, though he is really pretty big dog. I have started working in the shadows and highlights. Its a bit tricky to figure out some of the texture. Soon I should be able to start working in some of the background to give his position more context.
Don’t Give Me Those Puppy Dog Eyes.

Aw, that’s my boy! He looks wonderful and you’re amazing! I love that little pooch of skin pushed up at his jawline. He has so much neck! Thank you so much!
A fine start Alecia, John Seerey-Lester always taught us to start with the eyes. I cannot wait to see the finished painting.
