OK it's official, the only thing I can do in watercolour is big cats. I can do a lion, a lioness, tigers... but anything else? Nope. Oh well, could be worse I suppose. Anyway, here he is, The Lion - watercolour and ink.
I was asked if I could create a large portrait of a beautiful dog named Beau. The client wanted the portrait in just ink, but after several mock-ups the client liked the look of a two-tone portrait. To get it large enough I spanned the portrait across four canvases, laid out two by two. The resulting portrait is shown below. It is done in ink (black) and acrylic (grey) on four box canvases and measures a total of 80cm wide by 100 cm tall (31" x 40").
For this London Art College assignment I was given the outline of what we can see out the window, it was up to me to design the inside of the room, the window and colour the entire drawing. What you see in the painting is actually my drawing spot (and drawing board) which faces a window.
