Looking for some honest critiques...

[Brandyb]

I dabbled with some painting years ago, and I am trying to get back into it. I've attached two water colours that I am looking for comments on - sorry, I know one is a fish and not a dog, but I'm hoping that's ok.
I'd like to be able to offer water colour and gouache to my clients for pet portraits once I am comfortable again in the medium. My painting style is very different from my drawing style, and I think it would be neat to be able to add this style for those that like it.
All comments welcome ... thank you very much everyone!

I like them both, but the fish one is just awesome, I couldn't see it being done in B&W, the colour brings it out.

I think you would have no trouble at all. Good Luck to you! One suggestion since most are hung in a home enviorment you might want to go with a softer blue.

I couldent agree more They are stunning i love the fish as well. I think the attention to detail in it really helped bring it out. Im really into art as well and for me I know drawing is much easier than watercolor I always have a problem with colors running.

Wonderful

Your watercolor work is wonderful. I went to your website and your drawings are extremely nice and your prices very modest. Do you have a newsletter that I could subscribe to? I would like to purchase a drawings in the future for both personal use and for display on my retail website.


Thanks,

Hans

Great paintings.
You really capture the realism of the Angel fish, and the eyes of the dog, in my opinion, make the painting.
Well done!

Great Job.

I like your style. Heavy lines with different thicknesses can do alot for a drawing or painting. Some people don't realize that. The dog has a great expression. The drawing itself came out great. I'm not so sure about how you applied the color though. Maybe blending the colors a little bit would add more depth. But then again, the single solid colors separated from one another is a specific style I sometimes enjoy. Overall the two painting came out nice!
