Border Collie - Sheep Dog Tank Top

My final watercolour piece of 2017. This piece is one of my favourites. Painted using watercolours and finished with soft pastels to smooth over areas of the fur, this piece takes what I have learnt through the entire animal painting project and applies the skills and techniques to this final piece. As it’s also winter I wanted to add a hint of the season with a new background technique developed from my penguin piece where in I softly blended cool tones together however this time I added drops of white watercolour to the colour while wet to create a soft blurred snowy effect
