Well, you knew my dog Cloud would have to show up sometime in this challenge, and it's pretty safe to say it won't be the last. ;-)

This is one of the few times I've ever painted a dog alla prima (all in one sitting), and am still getting the hang of it, but that's one of the reasons for this challenge - my larger paintings take days or weeks, and I want to learn more about the alla prima, looser brushwork style.

I really enjoyed this one.

  1. Yesssssss Cloud is AWESOME. How long did this one take you? It looks like it was still a pretty intensive painting. . .
