I reworked his left eye a few times and that undercoat on his chest. I've never done animals before so I've found a new love.

Someone commented on the whole process of the concrete steps that you've taught us and how it now actually speeds up the painting process by doing this. I totally agree! I used to just paint layers and layers until it looked right. I never would have been able to COMPLETE these two paintings in 5 weeks w/my old method of painting.

Lisa & Mati I'm giddy over the idea of diving into more painting. I LOVED this class so much, it did feel way too short. Thank you both you do ROCK.

Done. I'm happy that it looks like Bailey, I added a little more paint to his coat and a few more highlights on his head & reworked the orange background.

I absolutely loved this class. Thank you Lisa & Mati for such a supportive environment. It's great to see such creative ideas and everyone's progress. You two are great teachers.

Looking forward to more classes. I'll keep painting!

This one was a bit more of a struggle as I kept going over a few areas again and again trying to get them right. The tuft of hair on top of his head still looks a little flat.
