Greyhounds, Watercolor Painting from Start to Finish
( by Dan Waltz )

Adding the details to the background using a liner brush :)

Working on the grass details with a liner brush.
Sorry you can't see much difference with this size picture, but you will in the final scan.
I still have a few more details to add but all in all I think the background is coming along very nice. Should be painting the dogs soon.

Adding more and more details, highlights and shadows to the background and in some cases the foreground. Making progress and one day closer to painting the dogs....

It's time to start the dogs....The background for now is done until I see how it looks with the dogs painted in front. So far I'm very pleased with the way things are going.

Just starting to rough the Black & White greyhound in. Slight coloration difference in this photo step as I had to take this photo indoors because it being dark outside.

Adding details to the black/white dog. Enjoying the process. I'll be enjoying it for a while yet.
