Artist Notes:
|
This watercolor illustration highlights the distinctive red merle pattern through layered washes and controlled variation in tone, allowing the natural markings to emerge with softness and depth. The dog is positioned in a calm, front-facing pose, holding a small flower that introduces a gentle, personal gesture. A softly wrapped gift anchors the lower portion of the composition, while the surrounding negative space and warm, diffused light create balance without distraction. Fine ink detailing is used sparingly to define expression and texture, keeping the overall feel light, natural, and focused on the individuality of the coat and character.
