A dog portrait in the Impressionist style
Broken colour, loose dabs of pure pigment and a garden suggested rather than described — a luminous, high-key painting from your photo, from $49.
What Impressionist does with a dog. Dappled light and broken colour, best for a pet photographed outdoors in a park or a yard. The coat is painted in many small dabs of pure pigment rather than a few big strokes.
The photo. Daylight, eyes in focus, taken at the dog's own eye level rather than from above. A three-quarter view paints better than straight on. For a black dog, skip the flash — the highlights do the work.
The size. 16×24 in a hallway or beside a bookshelf; 24×36 above the sofa. Big dogs look right big.
