Rua has been Brushed!

Posted on November 9, 2011 by heretherebespiders

This is Rua, my sister’s greyhound.

I’m not very happy with this drawing, it looks like those paint-by-numbers kits I did as a kid. Oh well! Every day I learn something new, and attempting brindle colouring was always going to be a challenge!

So beautiful! I want to touch her nose!
I love the drawing, you are too critical of your work 😉

PS- I found a heart in this drawing.

  Aw, I guess you can tell I love this dog! (A he, I didn’t say so, oops!)

I like it. Blocks of colour are very popular with me at the moment!

I had forgotten those paint by number kits – they did seem to use a lot of these colors with the pet ones. Don’t worry – the shapes and expressive lines work well. Dog coat is hard…easier to do smooth things like sharks? (just a poor attempt to cheer you up)

  I’m sure it comes as no surprise that I only did the pet ones! Horses and cats, mostly. I don’t know anyone with a pet shark, or I’d give it a go!

Rua! Cerys took one look, pointed to it and said ‘woof woof’!

  Surprise! I’ve been working on it for a while; I didn’t like the way it was going and I’m learning so much that if I started it today, it wouldn’t look anything like this. But I decided to run ahead and finish it last night.
  I’m glad Bug liked it! He’s her Woof Woof, after all!

I think it is lovely. Rua has a very expressive face and ears. 🙂
