Description
I was asked by a client to paint from a photo of this very cute dog “Moo” for her son. The photo really captured his personality, but the picture showed all four of his paws in a dishevel manner. I was worried the feet, especially the long nails this type of bulldog has would distract from the focal point of “Moo’s” face. I research American Bulldogs and drew a several sketches before moving on to canvas.
I wanted the face upfront, and ears close to the side of the canvas. I was very worried that his back paws would look “fake’, but it was his adorable soft face which takes the viewer in. I started painting the face and work out to the background using small paintbrushes. Black backgrounds are “In” but I thought a nice dark brown would work better, especially to soften his hair in the back. I softened the whole dog by using a paintbrush with very little paint and glazed over the back hair and the hair on the face. Tada!!! Moo!!!

I needed to research those nails too! In the original photo, the back feet were not there, but I added them to create distance, since Moos' face is so up front and center!!! Thanks for the wonderful compliment!!!!!
