Description
I painted this with watercolours on canvas, sized 27 x 35 cm (about 11 x 14 inches). This is for 2D Forum's February theme: Exploring colours.
and yes, this is my dear friend Kirppu. so I had the model by my side all the time - he didn't want to pose me though but mainly was asleep :-)
Colour is born in light. When there is no light we call it black. A black dog in a dark room - can you even see it? Black (as white) has all the colours in it. What tones we see in black depends on lighting, and also it depends how we want to see it - it's quite often very subjective way to see black.
I got once again lots of help from the friends in 2D Forum. If you want you can go to look how this painting developed HERE
Thanks you so much for viewing! I appreciate a lot of your comments :-)

you've succeeded well in bringing your black beauty to light on black!! woof!! :]
You have a great model for your great Artwork . WONDERFUL DONE MY DEAR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VOTE HUGEST HUGS
That is wonderful! What a beautiful dog, you got it real good. I know it is not easy to paint something black in black, it lives only from the highlights and you got it perfect. You are a wonderful artist!Excellent and a Vote for that.
What a wonderful exploration of highlights in a dark environment ... wonderfully accomplished. I love the dog. Excellent artwork.
He's so beautiful Titta! So filled with life and the colours you have chosen are magnificent, I love this great portrait of Kirppu :D hugs Thank you so much for creating and sharing him :)
The gorgeous Kirppu in all his glorious colour! You did such a great job on this Titta, I love how you have explored the colours & light to be seen in black, I really admire your ability to do this in watercolour too! Lovely work ; )
wonderful wonderful wonderul.... :) black is beautiful - black is wonderful - kirppu ist beautiful, the world is beautiful :) thanks for this one, dear titta... i really love it and i really like the fact you were brave and did the background black... :) yessss...!!! hugs
So this is Kirppu, and a handsome chap he is too. So the authentic blank canvas is black, and when we shed the light of our imagination on it, it comes alive. And that is art. Nice one titta.

The highlighting effects turned out wonderful. I'm normally biased towards cats but the way you painted him makes me want to hug the heck out of him! Superb! :P
I love the process of pulling light from the black, this is a great example of your skill, at doing just that!!
