Who can resist this gorgeous Newfie puppy, bathed in the colours of the rainbow and sunshine? He’s sure to bring a smile to any dog lovers face! I really wanted to bring out the playfulness of this Newfoundland puppy and found decided that some bold and colourful pastels on pastel card would be the perfect medium. This piece is a lot looser and more painterly compared to my normal highly detailed level of realism, but I certainly had fun painting it!

“Rainbows and Sunshine”, what else could I call this fun filled colourful pastel painting of a black Newfoundland puppy? I really enjoyed painting this one, I really wanted to loosen up, and convey the personality without much detail, so I actually used a very bad reference photo that I had taken at a dog show. (At the time I was disappointed that the photo was so bad, but the resulting painting is worth it I think:)

Painting realistic pet portraits means that I don’t usually get to splash around with lots of colour, so that was the main aim with this one – plus to capture the late afternoon sunlight and the glorious colours in his fur without using black!
