Just a few more done while watching online lessons.
This handsome doggie started with a watercolor underpainting and I liked it more - went too dark on this and too warm. I might try it again more blue and grey and softer colors.
The watercolor underpainting - should have left it here but still learning about gouache and how it works.
I like this, but it’s just a section of the face so…hope I have learned more about facial structure and shapes from all the watercolor portraits I did back when. This was done in a freebie quick lesson from Artefacto online.
One thing in gouache’s favor = you can go over and reshape and darken parts without it looking overworked because that’s what you do with gouache. I haven’t learned to go in with thick paint yet and probably wouldn’t like that technique, anyway.

He is a handsome doggo. Well done.
I really love the face study! I think you've got the structure down! And I of course love the blue/orange palette!
Thanks, Laura. I just followed the teacher’s way of painting with cools and warms for the eye but it turned out pretty good. The doggie, I still think I’ll redo him with cooler colors.
