Pet Portrait of Beau, an award-winning Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog
Colored Pencil, 16" x 12"
Beau is an award winning Louisiana Catahoula Leopard Dog. He has made it into the history books with the distinction of being the first UKC Champion bobtail Catahoula. And, he's a big goof—really happy, willing to please, and do anything to make you laugh, says his owner. Beau is also a great hiking companion, read all about him and what his owner thought about the portrait on her blog uperpest journal.
The photo on the left is the basis of the portrait. It has a blue color cast and a lot of camera distortion which can easily be fixed. I changed the composition in the artwork to make Beau more prominent. The right photo shows Beau's colors better and his gorgeous light blue eyes!
