Artist Statement (what Isabelle10679 said about their artwork)
I chose to wishbone because he looked like my dog Louie! I decided to do a Color background with purple blue and teal, to make it pop! The background style is impressionism. I use that style because I made it easier to see him! I learned that the more details are better It will look! My first step i did was tracing the dog on to the canvas. The second thing I did was starting to paint the background with a sponge brush. The brush helps me make a different texture. The last thing I did was paint the dog!
