Karen Alissa Art

This is Rocco...I was commissioned to paint this beautiful soul by @jank4527 @chilena4527 . This was their beloved dog... their first baby. They requested that I paint him in the style and colors of my Muse painting from a while back. This was my first time trying this. I was really excited for the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone because that's how growth happens. And I'm so pleased with the results. It's so hard to capture the shimmer, but there are gold accents ...on the yellow parts. It looks really cool. I'll varnish it and deliver it to them soon. Thank you for trusting me to paint your sweet boy and create a lasting memory for you to enjoy furever.

This is how the orchids looked before adding metallics. I like it both ways. What do you think?

I started my own You Tube Channel! I have one tutorial available now, and I'm working on others to add soon. I'll be listing supplies I use and the difficulty level. These are great enrichment activities for kids who are distance learning at home, or anyone who has wanted to explore their artistic side but would like some guidance.
