WIP Chow Chow Puppy Dog Art Original Painting Work in Progress + Sketch of a Big Eye Mermaid, Verbena Flowers, & Angel Fairy / April 18-20 / Art Sketches Daily...

In this original acrylic painting of a chow chow puppy dog, I'm a couple of layers deeper in her fur.  I'm starting to get the colors and the fluffiness that I'm looking for with this piece but she still needs a few more layers.  I've blocked in the eyes and the nose, but I'll detail them at some point in the future.  The panel that I'm painting on is 5"x7"

This is a work in progress, but I also usually post at least one finished piece on Tuesdays if you'd like to come to visit!  You also may see some of my finished paintings at lisarusso.com if you'd like.

I'm joining in this week with Paint Party Friday.  To see more participants, please visit:

April 18-20 Sketches

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  Her hair swirls wildly around her...  I think she is most likely a mermaid, although she could also be a fairy angel or a goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in April. This is from day 18. 

This is a rough sketch.

Here is a sketch of some verbena flowers.  They have a sweet charm...  I'm unsure if I'll paint this sketch or not, but I did enjoy sketching it. 

I've decided to try and do a sketch a day in April.  This is from day 19.  

This is a rough sketch. 

Here is a sketch of a big eyed maiden.  She has a gentle sweetness...  I think she is most likely an angel fairy, although she could also be a mermaid or a goddess.  I'm unsure if I'll paint her or not, but I did enjoy sketching her.
