I am primarily a charcoal artist but am slowly trying out color. This is my first attempt, a small (5" x 7" - roughly) portrait of Dawson - a friends Golden Lab.

Hoping to get up the courage to try another.

Hi Nancy - fancy finding you here. I don't usually check out the watercolour forum since it's not really my thing but I saw your Lab painting and just had to comment.

IMHO, you have captured his expression very well, he looks great!! For being so small, AND this being your 1st attempt, you've done a wonderful job. I think you've definitely got talent for other mediums beyond charcoal. I sometimes wish I could work with colour but I'm a real admirer of black & white work, and I will probably stick with that. Good for you that you're trying other mediums - keep going!!

Anyhow, he looks great to me!!

Becca-

Wow - We keep running into each other all over the place! Thank you for the coments and encouragement. I love color, but it scares me! Just don't know how to put it all together, focused on the expression to try to divert from all my flaws....glad it's seemed to work! Thank you again
