Painting Monty

Today I start another stage by stage painting of a very special dog, Monty.

Monty had to undergo surgery for a cluster of cysts on his head - and once it was all done and the fur grown back, it was my pleasure to paint this for his loving owners.


Here's the drawing




and here it is once the background has been added.
