Portrait of Yagi dog

I think you have made a really good job, I love the eyes, reminds me of my daughter's dog, Bronson who sadly is no longer with us.

Thanks Linda. Its been a hard piece this but if there's one good thing, then I also think it's the eyes. Actually, everyone here says I have captured his face well...and at the end of the day, that's the job done. It was also fun. I am now banned from anymore Yagi portraits...we have four!

Those eyes are so pleading....can you throw my ball. He’s lovely.

Oh my comment has vanished.... those PO L gremlins again. It’s worked well David, black dogs are really hard to do. I love his eyes .

You’ve done a terrific job of a difficult colour in animals , I have to agree about the eyes, they are excellently painted David.

Great job David, he has that soulful lab look all right. I like the way you have varied the black with the light on the left side.

A very good result David. The darker area under his chin really pulls his face forward.

Lovely portrait, David!

You finished it! Well done David, Yagi looks great. Very hard painting a black dog - I'm going to have another go of my black cocker next. You may be interested to look at Bonny Snowdon on YouTube, she mainly uses pencils but she has done a black lab which I watched this morning. She uses a lot of different colours in her work and she's very clever.

Great portrait, David, and the eyes are so soulful and intelligent. Bri
