Journey of the portrait - how it came to life

The dog's eyes are generally first and help bring the personality through, colours are blocked in and detail added.
Brush marks help create texture of the dog's fur, and in contrast a smooth background.
In this instance the most challenging aspect was to create the cheerful nature of his expression.
