Today I proofed Lucia. This pretty little Chihuahua was a lot of fun to work on. At 88k the original photo was pretty low in resolution. I did several things to improve upon the original photograph before I even started painting.  The first thing I addressed were the shadows and highlights in the photo and the lack of detail in the eye to our left.  I brightened the eyes and opened them up just a tad wider.  Then I rotated the head just a little bit to get a fun playful expression.
You can click the image above to see the detail in the changes made. Below you will see a bright bold proofing option and then below that a more tame version with natural coat coloring.

Y'all need to give that dog a bone for sittin' so still while you do that painting.

Sweet baby Lucia! Beautiful work, Becca. I really like the way you incorporated the sofa in this piece.
Gosh, Rebecca. Both incarnations are really pretty. I am rather intrigued by the shape of that chair or piece of sectional she is sitting on too. Great job on opening up those eyes.
So similar!!!
