Little Miss Innocent by Christine Haywood

She is so pretty, as all Cockers are! I think you have done this very well.

I have one tip - keep doing it! I find a rigger helpful for long fur, that and following the lay of the coat; but you don't really seem to be having any problems. And the day I meet an innocent Cocker span'l is the day I realize the little horrors have fooled me entirely.

This is a lovely portrait and very well painted! Painting fur can be quite tricky with watercolour though but as soon as you get into a rhythm you will soon get there. I paint the fur the way it grows making sure I follow the direction of each section, working on one at a time and obviously working from light to dark as normal. This looks great so well done and do some more!

This is the cause of my not being able to spend as much time as I would like painting this year. She is now nearly eleven months old, but still into everything. I have not really attempted long fur before and found it rather difficult to portray. Any tips?
