I like to paint several small studies for a portrait before I begin on a larger canvas. The small paintings help me figure out what colors of paint to mix, the composition and the drawing. Once I have those things figured out I paint with more confidence on the final portrait.
When I showed the beagle my first rough study his response was non-commital. However, the mini Aussi saw it and was impressed and decided he would like his portrait painted next.

So glad you came by my blog (thank you for your very kind comment), so I got to see your blog. Lovely watercolour work and fun posts, I like your universal palette and how you have the little test page with it... I have a big one the wall, but a small one like that is a great idea.
Thank you again for stopping by my blog, glad you enjoyed the stamps (more to come, I cant get enough of them right now).
