For the pet portrait I didn't have and good pictures of my pets, so I decided to paint a puppy that I had seen at the Pet Pad. I used oil paints for this project, since oils are my strong suit. I had started off by drawing everything out on the canvas, but then realized it would be easier if I started painting. I didn't run into many problems while painting this piece, the colors went well together, and I made the background blue, and it ended up looking like a curtain, which gave the piece a home feel. Towards the end is when I started getting more frustrated, since I had put the puppy's body in, but it looked like a hat. I got help from Mrs. Rossi and Mrs. Sudkamp on how to make the body look like it belonged in the picture. I ended up having to darken up the body, which helped the over all look, I also added in a leg, so the body didn't look like a blob.
