Harini's Acrylics on canvas


I absolutely love this painting done by my 6 year old student Harini! She loves dogs, so I decided to make her work on an acrylic painting of a dalmatian.
We started out by drawing the puppy on canvas. We broke down the shapes of the body into a simple structure by looking at a picture of a dog and then came back and refined it. She added all the details the way she wanted to.
When it came time to paint, Harini enjoyed picking the colors for the background and mixing it. The dog was white with grey dots and some basic shadows. She enjoyed mixing the greys and applying it all over.
