Description:
Sasha, the Havanese dog of Susan and Lucienne. Only half of her face was visible in the photo. Sasha was a rambunctious animal, consistently cheerful with a spring in her steps and a gleam in her big eyes. She was vivacious and sociable and was full of energy and always ready to play.
Impressions:
As an artist, I strive to capture the essence of my subjects in my work. In this portrait of a Havanese dog with moderate fur, I aimed to convey the playful and affectionate nature of this small yet lively breed. The Havanese is known for its silky coat and expressive eyes, and I wanted to capture these features in my portrait.
Using soft shades of graphite, I skillfully rendered the dog’s fur, capturing the texture and movement of the coat. The moderate length of the fur added depth and dimension to the image, giving the impression of a living, breathing animal.
The dog’s eyes were a focal point of the portrait, conveying a sense of intelligence and curiosity. I captured the sparkle in the dog’s eyes, giving the viewer a glimpse into its lively personality.
I composed the portrait in a well-balanced manner, positioning the dog’s head slightly off-center to create visual interest. The background was kept simple, allowing the viewer to focus on the portrait.
Overall, this Havanese dog portrait with moderate fur is a beautiful representation of this beloved breed. I skillfully captured the essence of the Havanese, creating a timeless image that will be cherished by dog lovers for years to come.
