Dog Portrait Painting Process of Tika - Step 11

Finishing her eyes & more fine tuning
At this stage, I am focusing mainly on Tika's eyes and her expression, as I want to capture her unique personality and charm. In addition, I have honed in on more detail around her nose and jowls. You will notice more contrast in the trees behind her and more definition around her collar and dog tags.

Can you see into Tika's soulful eyes? Is the highlight in her left eye too bright? Painting Tika, makes me wish I had had the opportunity to meet her.

...to be continued.

Yes, I can see into Tika's eyes - the dog of my heart, who could see into my soul. We miss her.
