Shih Zhu

Good afternoon, Those that know my wife knows she is the crazy Shih Zhu lady. We have 3 of our own plus Penny our rescue girl and she dogs sits for others.

So when she asked me to do this painting I had to oblige. 

I followed along with a Colin Bradley tutorial but now have the confidence to add my own techniques to my work.

I used Faber Castell Pitt pencils (as these give more definition than soft pastels) on Fabriano Tiziano paper.

He looks a little like Paddy one of our Shih Zhus and in the future I may repeat this using one of our dogs as a model.
