I’ve just completed Josie’s underpainting, you can see her previous progress shot
here. Since her coat is so dark, I started with a pretty dark base. I blended indigo and raw umber together for the deepest shadows, and it looks like there’s some reflection on the wet paint – so the photo might be a bit misleading. There will be many layers of fur to come, once this underpainting has a day or two to dry.
As for me – I’m fighting a cold (it’s winning, so far) so I’m drowning myself in Spice Chai Tea with honey and lemon, and trying to stay quiet. (That’s no easy task, let me tell you!!)
Will update again soon with another new tiny painting.

I cannot believe that you are making an addict wait.
I got the background done, but lost daylight. I’ll get ‘er done tomorrow!
Wow! Quick work. Almost done. Next photo will be the completed one and we’ll all be duly impressed.
Oh Leanne, the painting is just beautiful, I love the colours, are you painting it in oils or acrylics sorry you proly did say. Have you ever painted a Jack Russell, I will have to send a pic of my baby dog one week for your consideration.
