Dog and Pet Paintings: 07/22/15

http://dogandpetpaintings.blogspot.com/2015_07_22_archive.html

Dog and Pet Paintings. Wednesday, 22 July 2015. Wish You Were Here. A little tease on the theme of the traditional seaside postcard. The beach huts are from a photo by Christine Coffey, the seaside is imaginary although based on the red cliffs of Sidmouth, Devon where I used to go on holiday with the children when they were small. Today's painting is dedicated to all those who, like me, get fed-up of the press telling us what to pack "for our holidays" when we are not going away on holiday.

Dog and Pet Paintings: 08/06/15

http://dogandpetpaintings.blogspot.com/2015_08_06_archive.html

Dog and Pet Paintings. Thursday, 6 August 2015. A bit more tranquil than the scene for the morning walk. To make this glorious orange I used Rembrandt Transparent Oxide Red and Cad Yellow Light - for the darks I added Vandyke Brown. Also some black for the silhouettes. Orange is a difficult colour: I had a tube of Golden Cadmium Orange when I worked with acrylics and it was fabulous, but my W&N Cad Orange is disappointingly pale - almost got a pastel tinge to it - which is no good at all.

Karen Robinson Fine Art. I live on the border of Devon and Cornwall, UK. Inspired by contemporary American realism, I am trying to follow the unique path of my own artistic journey. Grateful to many American artists for sharing their time and knowledge on-line and in print, I have learnt so much from them. I am learning to see, to develop my technical skills and, hopefully, discover my heart. I paint in oils, sometimes other media, and post new, small paintings on my blog. Or directly from me.

Dog and Pet Paintings: 08/14/15

http://dogandpetpaintings.blogspot.com/2015_08_14_archive.html

Dog and Pet Paintings. Friday, 14 August 2015. A very wet morning here in Devon. Hope it is nicer where you are. For ages, I didn't attempt a painting like this because I couldn't figure out how to paint rain. I was thinking, it is so - visually - intangible. How do you capture it in something as tangible as oil paint? Rain doesn't have shapes or lines or edges. It is just kind of blurr-y. Then I had the ha-ha moment. The rain always falls sideways in Devon. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Dog and Pet Paintings. Thursday, 23 July 2015. This daily painting of a sweet dog eating his own ice-cream is a re-post from last year. I have always liked this little painting: he looks rather like my own dog would, if we didn't keep his fur under control and I like the way his tongue and the ice-cream merge. Links to this post.

Skip to primary content. Skip to secondary content. Lily is on Bed Rest. May 18, 2015. Little dogs who have this injury are able to rest and heal. Big dogs need surgery. Lily is fifty pounds, and so between the two. We’re hoping that rest will take care of things. Who knows Lily well, sent me these suggestions in an email:. Crossing the front paws, telling big object from small, cocking the head on cue, nose target to object on the laptop screen, which hand is the treat in, etc. It will be interesting to...

Dog and Pet Paintings. Thursday, 30 July 2015. Just playing with a limited palette and enjoying lavish use of Cad Yellow Deep, one of my favourite colours but which I don't often get the chance to use. Thank you to Debbie Greyson Lincoln from Paint My Photo. For the reference photo. This is my 400th blog post and therefore my 400th daily painting. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Dog and Pet Paintings: Last Walk Before Bed

http://dogandpetpaintings.blogspot.com/2015/08/last-walk-before-bed.html

Dog and Pet Paintings. Friday, 7 August 2015. Last Walk Before Bed. Last walk before bed and the last painting of this week. Thanks to Coral for sharing this photo and yesterday's on. I liked how it appears the tide has turned in this scene. The waves always seem to become a bit more assertive at that point. I painted this one in two steps. Thank you for looking at my paintings this week, I hope you have a great weekend. In the meantime, for anyone interested, it is Vermeer over on my other blog. Animals...
