Watercolor Painting of a Dachshund

Hello! This is a watercolor portrait of Maggie, a beautiful Dachshund. She was one of three sisters that I painted recently. Loved the long hair.
This is another high-speed video to share the process of making a realistic watercolor portrait.
I paint in many sizes, but this one is on 5x7 in paper. Each portrait takes me many hours and layers, which is why I always do these videos in high-speed. I have other videos that have instructions if you are interested in learning my style.

My process requires lots of layers with subtle color variations and values, gradually using less and less water in my paint mixtures as the layers go. I do paint wet into dry a lot of the time, and then soften the edges with a clean damp brush. Hopefully you can see some of the process within these short minutes!
Please contact me if interested in a portrait for yourself!
