Just completed this, a private commission.  Black dogs are always tricky - black dogs with fine strands of white hair are even trickier!  I was not sure what medium I was going to do this in, but in the end plumped for watercolour as the main painting with coloured pencil at the end to add the darker spots and put in the wayward hairs.  I think it turned out OK - I don't believe I would have been able to get the detail of the hair using just one of those mediums.

Now we wait and see if the recipient is pleased!

If your would like a portrait of your  pet (or even of your human), do get in touch.
