Dog Paintings

Dachshund - Digital Smudge Painting

This is one of my first digital painting attempts, using oils in photoshop to add colour and the smudge tool to mix and blend.

Well its the first of October so I had better post this one:)  This is the first small format painting I have done in the dog painting series (so far all the art I have posted has been portfolio work in my personal collection). This is “Hallie” a most remarkable long haired black and tan dachshund, loved and owned by a fellow artist, Dee Dee Murray.  When I saw the photo of Hallie laying on the couch, I just couldn’t resist the look on her face, isn’t she sweet?

This painting is still detailed and realistic, especially considering its size. I am pleased with how she has turned out, but I do think that it is going to take me a while to loosen up a bit more with my paintings!

Dachshund painting in oils by Michelle Wrighton

I have scanned this painting rather than photographing it, and the blue and green background in the image is showing quite a bit brighter than in the original painting, where the colours a bit more subtle.

Please feel free to leave a comment, I’d love to know what you think of “Hallie”.
