Watercolor Pet Portraits: White Labrador (Painting Short-Haired, White Dogs)

Looks great! I'm happy to see you used your own photo and I love all the white details you added on top of the watercolor. Teeth can be tricky, but I actually think you did a good job with them! I have found that sometimes it is helpful to not look at your reference photo, but to sketch a mirror image of things like teeth (as long as the face is facing straight at you). I do the same with the highlights of the eyes- sometimes our brains want to see the symmetry with certain poses. If your pup was looking at an angle, I bet your brain wouldn't be as upset about the teeth being angled differently. Just something you can play around with when you are working on the initial sketch of your dog. Oh and I also love all the colors you can see underneath! I see blues and purples and it really helps to give the fur some depth!

Thank you Emily for a fun class.  I used a different reference photo...
