Annabelle

Annabelle is the second in the French Bulldog Series. She loves to dance and eat flower arrangements. Her favorite color is pink.

#2 Annabelle
 8x10 inches

mixed media on a water-media canvas.

I used a Micron pen to create a detailed drawing in black and white. Then Gold Faber-Castell artist pen (the effect of which i didn't like). Covered it by Spectrum Noir Markers (background) and finished it with light red watercolor.

Psst... If you want to see the black and white drawing before I stared experimenting on it with markers , find it on my Instagram accaunt - IGRINART.

#1 Diego

8"x10"

mixed media on wooden panel

I used Micron pens (archival ink) to make the very detailed drawing in black, then added a warm earth color with Faber Castell PITT artist pen and white highlights with GAMBLIN Titanium white oil paint.

Really love the result!
I suggest framing this piece in a wide flat black frame with a thin gold liner to highlight the honey warmness of his eyes.

Make 100 French Bulldogs

Yes! I went crazy 
and committed to create 100 French Bulldog* inspired Art Pieces till the end of the year 2017. (*I included Boston Terriers, Pugs and Pigs in this project, because of obvious similarities)
All the paintings will be on sale during the following month. Limited edition signed giclee prints are also available!
