Sleeping Dogs
I did three versions of this dog. The first, in gouache, I did last year and liked it so much I kept it around to look at. The second I tried recently in acrylic. The third, in oil, is the last one I did, and it's a complete redo after another oil attempt bombed. But I learned so much from the gouache and acrylic versions that I decided to try again in oil, using what I had learned. I HIGHLY recommend this practice - using different mediums to paint the same thing. I learned so much!

Here is another acrylic. Just a fun, little goldfish. But wait until you see the crowded reference photo! -> So I opened it first in Infinite Painter on my ipad, completely erased the background, and then tried out a whole bunch of alternatives on a layer under the fish layer (I had to try at least 10 before I liked one!), and then painted it.Thursday, April 07, 2022

I realized after a few of these that I keep changing the background to blue. They are different shades of blue at least, but still, blue. So I asked myself why, and I think it's because when the animal is a warm color, especially leaning towards orange, blue is a nice complement. I didn't really think that through logically until afterwards - I just used the color that felt right.

Sometimes a title idea will pop into my head and I have no clue where it came from. I thought maybe this was something from a song I hear. But I looked it up and couldn't find anything. Maybe it's something my family said? No idea.
