"Pugsley" - Pug - Original Watercolor Painting - Framed
Dog Art by Ann Ranlett

Who could resist this wrinkly-cute face in vibrant green? Ok, maybe some folks don't want a painting of a green pug, but I know there are plenty who do!

This painting is already framed! See the second image for mat/frame proportions.

Art: 4" x 4", copyright 2005

Mat: 8" x 10", white

Frame: 8" x 10", matte-finish silver

This is a watercolor painting on Yupo, one of my "Paintings with Petzazz". When the painting was dry, I added just a bit of color pencil in a few places for enhancement.

Yupo is made of polypropylene, it's slick and bright white. The water/paint mixture isn't absorbed into the surface as with traditional watercolor paper - this results in vibrant colors and interesting swirls and watermarks that appear as the paint dries. Paint can also be lifted easily with a damp brush - wonderful for creating edges, the highlight in the eye, whiskers, etc.

My intent with these paintings is to interpret the subject, not to paint it exactly, although I do strive for accuracy of proportion. I choose a limited color palette and let the paint and paper do a lot of the work. After selecting the image, I'll often choose a title which is related to a color and then come up with the color scheme.
