MATCHA & MAPLE The Golden Retrievers

MATCHA & MAPLE The Golden Retrievers

I can’t decide whether ‘Matcha’s’ expression is one of tolerance or pleasure but they certainly make a very cute pair!

You can see how I simplified the background, removing the cushion but keeping the contrasting blue colour.

I will be teaching workshops in different locations next year called ‘Pet Portraits with Personailty’. Working ‘alla prima’ in oil paint we will look at ways of applying the paint in a dynamic and interesting way: focusing on colour, brushwork and composition. See the ‘Workshops’ tab for more details.
