This morning I finished the large version of a logo for Pawsitive Memories, a pet hospice and memorial service based out of San Antonia, Texas. The 7″x10″ proof version was scanned for use as their logo, and the 16″x20″ large painting is ready for framing.
Both paintings are painted in watercolor on watercolor paper.
I am honored to have been chosen to paint the new logo for such a wonderful business.
6″x6″ dip pen and wash on aquaboard
Ink: Sennelier Walnut Stain
Subject is Gigi, an adorable, elderly, stubby-legged mutt dog rescued by dear friends a number of years ago.
I took several photos of Gigi while I was dog-sitting over the holiday, and when I got home pulled them up on my computer. I first sketched the drawing in pencil, then inked it with a croquille dip pen. This was my first occasion using aquaboard, which took the ink very nicely. The next day I used a round brush to apply the same ink in a wash. Again, I was extremely happy with how the aquaboard took the media.
This is what the drawing looked like before adding the wash, but in black and white.
