LABRADOR RETRIEVER WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS SHEILA WEDEGIS

  Our Chocolate Lab Fergus became ill and I have  totally devoted every moment to him. He finally went to the Bridge this past Tuesday and now is at peace. Oh..we miss him terribly.

   This yellow was so fun to paint. I had the color then washed it off. That's why I love 300lb paper. So durable. I then went back in and gave highlights and a few darks. My client loved it.

  Thanks for looking, Sheila

WATERCOLOR DOGS BY SHEILA M.WEDEGIS

"I Am The Master of My Domain"
                           # 2 of Watercolor Dogs.  A cute little "weener" watching his shadow.

     I love doing these little paintings. They are fun yet challenging.  I was hoping more orange had shown through but that's a lesson in progress. The glazing of watercolor.  My goal is not to use gouache for highlights but for now I like it and it works for me.

     I will be putting this painting as a print on my Fine Art America page. You can purchase it on canvas or paper.

     This watercolor is on 300lb Arches watercolor paper and is 11" x 7.5"   Can you give this cute doggie a new home?  

   $175.00 plus $6.00 S&H

WATERCOLOR DOGS BY SHEILA M.WEDEGIS

A fellow dog artist, Stacey Jasmin, sent me a photo of her Trailer Walking Coonhound.  I loved the light and dark in the photo to begin with so I started.  The process is different than my oils. I need to think light to dark now because once the dark area is painted there's really no going back.  Not with pure color that is.  I needed to plan my white areas and leave that part of the paper untouched. 

I lightly sketch in my drawing and oh yes, there is erasing and redoing.  Measuring and angle checking to make sure everything lines up correctly. With oils, all is forgiven and can be painted over.

Next step was to wet the taped 300lb watercolor paper. I'm ready.  It to the entire Steelers playoff game to do. (Good thing I'm a Patriots fan!)

This original is going to Stacey. She is doing one of my Labs in a great swap. You need to see her work. She does fantastic Pit Bull art., bringing to life the sensitive, soulful part of the dog. I have to say I have been afraid of Pits,( a half Pit,half Lab and Fergus had an awful fight.) but seeing her work I see the different loving side. I hope all people get to see this side of the dog.     http://www.staceyjasminfineart.com/

Thanks for looking and I hope to see some of your pets in watercolor soon!   Sheila
