Pepper and Ivy

Pepper and Ivy (watercolor, 25x35cm, on W&N paper, cp)

This commission was completely out of my comfort zone of landscapes and townscapes. Commissioned paintings always involve more planning, effort, and stress due to fear of failure. In this case this was compounded by the fact that I have very little experience with portraits, and much less with pet portraits. Nevertheless, I dived into the challenge head first and hoped for the best. Can’t say it was easy, but is was a relief to know that the buyer was very happy with the result.
