Red setter
Watercolour
I was commissioned to paint this lovely red setter. There was no real room for error as she is so beautiful.
The other key challenge was finding the right red.
After some trial and error, I contacted my own teacher, Liam Thompson, to ask him what he would recommend. He gave me two options:
- Alizarin Crimson + Yellow Ochre + Ultramarine Blue
- Burnt Sienna + Alizarin Crimson + Ultramarine Blue
I got there in the end and I know that my client is delighted so I am pleased.
