Laying down the background. More warm earthy colors. At this point in time, nothing else will do. If I were forced to paint with only yellow ochre, I could still find a way to be happy...
Luckily, I don't have to!
I'm loving these colors. And of course, those ears!
This is a big size for a head pose of such a little dog. Usually my portraits are 8 x 10 inches. This one is 18 x 18 inches (acrylic on canvas.) Seeing Cloud's head this big is taking some getting used to, lol!

Seeing the progress is fascinating. You're probably simply capturing how big HE thinks he is! Keep sharing progress, please!
How unusual to start with the ears! I would never have started there but sseing it now, it does look quite logical as you work down the piece!
FDF, thanks, I will. And your comment made me laugh!
Hi pp, right now I'm just laying down the underpainting and will go back over it to refine and add details. :-)
Off to a great start. Looks like another winner.
There's no better subject! Looks great already - I do love the ears!
Thank you so much Gary and Nikki! :-)
Oh we can hardly stand the wait to see Clouds Big Head! BOL
Wags & wiggles,
