One thing I have struggled with lately is painting shaded areas of animals and people. When it's a fairly saturated color, no problem, but when it's a more muted tone...yikes! I loved the photo I used for this painting because of the bright spots and water. I however have been a bit apprehensive due to this sweet lab's shaded coat. I've been studying many artist's works that seem to have a good handle on shaded tones and went for it on this one. I really like how this turned out. Now I just need to keep practicing so I can be one of those artists that makes it all look easy!
