Re: Challenging collie

Thank you Mags but it’s not quite so I am trying again .

Re: Challenging collie

This one is going better

Re: Challenging collie

I like that one Muddy.

Do you?

Re: Challenging collie

Yes I do !
I was struggling to get a likeness with the other .

Re: Challenging collie

It's excellent as usual!
One thing I noticed with ours was the pricked up ears or sometimes laid behind.

Re: Challenging collie

It's the first one for me - the one you posted on the first page of this thread. Absolutely brilliant work! This little chap has real character.

And I do like your latest version, that's brilliant too. But the first version is more brilliant!

Get into it, mate. Now I am definitely getting back into my studio tomorrow!

Re: Challenging collie

Just checked again, Muddy, and I still think I'm right.

I know how hard it is for the artist to examine his/her own work. If I were you, then I'd leave it for a couple of days and come back to it. And I assume that you know about the mirror trick.

But of course, an artist with your obvious, exceptional talent probably knows all this anyway.

Re: Challenging collie

I prefer the first dog picture too it has character and pathos...

Re: Challenging collie

Exactly, Meg. I was thinking about how to say it is more like a 'portrait', but you did it much more succinctly!

I'm sure that dogs do this sort of thing to us deliberately!

Re: Challenging collie

I like this one too. I also liked the first one. Is it the same dog?
