Newf Birthday Painting

It's a CELEBRATION! Hang the streamers and balloons, bake a cake, bring out the party hats - this Newf is having a Birthday!

Here is a glimps of how my "Happy Birthday To You" Newf painting was created in several stages. I hope you enjoy this post :)

The beginning - choosing the background colors and sketching.

Here the dogs are being roughed in - few details at this point, just concentrating on blocking in shapes.

Here the finer details are filling in.

Finished painting!
