Stage One of Lola's pet portrait
In this stage I use vine charcoal to sketch on the canvas I toned with an acrylic wash of bright pink and blue mixed. I am not looking for a detailed drawing in this stage, I am mostly interested in proportion accuracy and general placement of Lola's facial features before I commit to oil painting on the canvas.

Stage Two of Lola's pet portrait
In this stage I start to use a light wash of oil paint to define the areas of the painting. The darkest colors I use are a mix of phthalo blue and raw umber thinned out with oil paint thinner. The lighter areas are a mix of titanium white and a touch of cadmium yellow pale huge. The gums and tongue are a blend of titanium white with alizarin crimson.

Stage three of Lola's pet portrait
In this stage I start to add highlights to define and adjust areas on her face to achieve a realistic yet painterly final pet portrait. The background color is one solid color that I choose to complement the tones in the fur and other features of the portrait.

Final Stage of  Lola's pet portrait
In the final stage I add small yet important details of highlights in the eyes and nose and textures around her muzzle and fur.
