Products Demo at Riley Street Art Supply

In class I've mentioned the occasional demos at Riley's in San Rafael where a rep from Golden covers the various additives  (gels, mediums, etc. ) for use when painting with acrylics.   One is coming up in March - just wanted to alert you.   Saturday March 7 from 11:00 - 1:00 downtown San Rafael on 4th Street.   Enjoy!

Beagle Boy

 This serious little beagle was a pleasure to paint though initially I hesitated because he seems to have a bit of a scowl.  Before I declared "finished" I tried to make him a bit happier but then it didn't look like him anymore.  He reminds me a lot of Mollie, our cat.  She looks stern but it's all a big act.  Pets are fun to paint. I may get into this a bit more.

Also, what do you think about a 'pop art' version of Beagle Boy -with some out-of-the-box colors?  If I do I'll show it to you

Below is the photo I worked from.
