Dog Portrait in Digital Watercolor

Just before the holidays, a client who called me for a holiday portrait session was pet-sitting for their friend’s senior pit bull, Mari, and it was impossible not to include her in some of the shots.  She wasn’t very active that day (I later learned that she is not very active on ANY day), so we worked around her, and managed to get her in a few solo poses. Joe and Rob, the clients, loved those images so much that just from the review on the camera LCD screen they ordered a digital watercolor to present to their friend for her birthday.

I have had this image ready to post for weeks, but I had to wait until the gift presentation before going public. So, Happy Birthday, Jenny. I hope this image of your dear friend makes you warm and fuzzy.

This is favorite painterly technique I use when the image is appropriate. I call it Digital Watercolor, and I really love how this effect provides good details, remaining faithful to the original image, but also blends the colors and texture to feel like a watercolor painting.
