Wali
Acrylic on panel (Claybord), 8 x 10

Whew! Wali's portrait, on 8 x 10 panel, took me a little longer than the smaller 5 x 5 canvasses, but I could have been more efficient, I think. Also, working on the very smooth panel requires a different touch, as it shows watery brush strokes in a that isn't always desirable to me. I thought I would get around that by starting with a coat of gesso and paint, but alas, still took a bit of getting used to again.
Ah well. He's done, and I really like the vibrant background setting him off, with that intelligent and friendly stare!
For my progress developing the painting, see the animation below.
Tomorrow, I have another larger painting, this one of a senior greyhound gal who is the Star of her home.
See you tomorrow!
