Man and Dog

| My painting |
I have
figured out I am just not good at getting proportions right when I
sketch. I really will have to work on that. It might not show so much
on a landscape but on people and animals it certainly does. This
watercolor painting was just a quick study but as I was painting I
found the body was not right on either the dog or the man and I couldn't adjust it easily.

I
also rather liked the painted effect halfway through better than the
finished painting.I should have stopped earlier!!
I
guess you learn something every time you paint.
I think a painting can be viewed in two ways: first does it look perfectly like the photo, second is the story it tells the same as the one in the photo, in this painting it might not be a perfect geometric representation but it sure tells the story perhaps even better than the photo!
