THEM BOYS, 31.5" x 94" x 2.5" , acrylic & gouache, 2021 (commission)

Photographed these two boys in motion (edited quickly in RAW/PSD).

Projected the images to create a quick sketched composition using graphite to create an outline of each dog. Then went to work layering in paint. Observing the images to replicate the colors, shadows, and of course, getting to have fun with the negative and positive spaces and feeling the color choices energetically! The new owner is very happy 😊
