강아지가 소품이 아니라 주인공이 되는 초상화 #초상화 #유화

A portrait where the dog is the main character, not a prop #Portrait #OilPainting This painting is a commissioned portrait of a person and a dog together. If I had copied the original photo exactly, both the person and the dog would have become smaller on the small canvas—the dog even more so—resulting in an ambiguous composition for both. So I repositioned the dog next to the person's face and changed the direction of its gaze. This allowed me to recompose the painting so that the dog becomes another main character, not just a simple prop. The white dog's fur is not painted with plain white, but with a mix of yellow, purple, gray, flesh tone, and green. The person's face is rendered with cool shadows and a sense of three-dimensionality to contrast with the dog. While capturing likeness is important in portraiture, the composition—deciding what to emphasize and what to leave out—is crucial. #Portrait #OilPainting #FigurePainting #DogPainting #PetPortrait #PaintingProcess #OilPortrait
