Some animals are so beautiful that it's hard to imagine painting them as magnificent as they are. Mollie is like this. Although she's a sleek black dog, there's no black paint on her. What you see here is lots of Quinacridone Magenta, Ultramarine Turquoise, Phthalo Blue, Quin Burnt Orange, Indanthrone, Cerulean, and Lunar Earth, all from Daniel Smith Company out of Seattle.
I've started painting a full length view of her on a larger sheet of paper, but for now, she looks like this. My hope is to capture how exquisitely gorgeous she is.

This is stunning Sandy! The colours in Mollie's coat are just brilliant and the background is beautiful....
She is so beautiful!! It's hard to believe you used no black paint.
