Mentalmac Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Nice, that's cool. Love how it sharpens up as you move back a bit - very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisherman Mike Posted May 15, 2014 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Nice, that's cool. Love how it sharpens up as you move back a bit - very good. Thanks.. A trick of the trade Its quite a big picture so trying to detail all the individual hairs like you would on a smaller painting is almost impossible. You have to use suggestive techniques with different brush types and just accentuate certain parts like the eyes and muzzle. The medium is a mixture of watercolour, acrylic and gouache if anyone is interested and some of the details will be picked out in coloured pencil so a real mishmash.!
