Painting Teddy the Giant Dog in Painting class

After 2 weeks off we gathered again for painting class. Two classmates weren't there but we had a Saturday morning class person join our group for the night. I can't really think of what this night's class was about except that we were painting from a photo and most of us painted animals and Judi painted an insect and flower. I think we were all hot. Kat reminded us yesterday to bring a photo for class and for me that meant charge up my iPad and then look and see what was on it later.

Last time Teddy the giant dog was over for a weekend I took some photos thinking that eventually I might want to paint him. Now I had photos and Sara is moving to a new house and I'll give her this dog portrait. Last time he was over I made a quick sketch and watercolor and she loved it and I think she will like this dog portrait. Saves me from having to gesso it over! Although I must admit it does look like Teddy.

Robin suggested that she and I plan an August picnic-paint outside evening with Kat and the classmates. That would be so much fun! I want to explore painting beyond fruits and mugs! Over at Nokomis or Minnehaha Park or somewhere. It would be soooooo much fun!
