“DOBERMAN”. For a long time I was wondering what to paint next. I decided it’ll be portrait of the Doberman. It’s my dear friend’s dog, and I’ll try to do my best… - What you can see it’s an outline, this is how I’ve planed the painting. - It’s A3 size Jackson’s linen board, super fine coarse, oil primed. - Griffin Alkyd oils - Non-Absorbent Acrylic Primer in neutral grey, Michael Harding.

“DOBERMAN” - oil study (WIP) Hi everyone. I’m blocking in some parts of the head to get the feeling of the shape right… It is a girl, I think it already shows through the eyes? Don’t you think so? Tomorrow we will welcome the NEW YEAR ~ yay!!!
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

Yes, I do think so - you can usually tell a bitch from a dog with the bigger breeds; except for our late Alsatian Emma, who was so huge everyone assumed she must be a male.  She was quite clear that she wasn't....   Looking forward, as always, to see where you go with this.

Thank you Robert 😉 That’s interesting what you’ve mention regarding telling apart larger and smaller breeds to distinguish girl from a boy… I just gave it a thought for a moment, and you’re right, I’m usually struggle with small dogs (cat size most cases 😉), but I’m ok with larger dogs 👍 As you’ve said - there are exceptions sometimes (lol).

Doberman or Dobermann? I’m just getting confused which of two I should stick to, as it seems both are in use when you search online… Saying so this dog breed is named after Louis DOBERMANN - so it could be the answer to my doubt. What you think? I’ve found it online; Is it spelled “Doberman” or “Dobermann”? The correct spelling is Dobermann (with two n's) if you are referring to the European Dobermann variety. Doberman (spelled with one 'n') refers to the breed as a whole and can be used to reference either an American Doberman Pinscher or European Dobermann. # This is a bit of description; The Dobermann is a German breed of medium-large domestic dog of pinscher type. It was originally bred in Thuringia in about 1890 by Louis Dobermann, a tax collector. It has a long muzzle and – ideally – an even and graceful gait.
