Dogs At Sunset - Panorama Dot painting

Dogs At Sunset panorama dot painting, eight friends at the fence

Eight dogs of different breeds lean over a wooden fence, each wearing a dotted bandana, with a low sun and butterflies behind them. Only a wide canvas has room for the whole row, paw by paw.

The dotted bandanas are a nice match for a technique built on dots. You fill the printed circles with the markers, with no paint and nothing to clean up.

What is in the dot painting kit

Everything you need comes in one box:

• Printed canvas: sturdy, with each dog's face and paws well defined.
• Guide: one page, read in a minute.
• Double-tip markers:
  • 1.0 mm tip: for the darker coats, the fence planks and the sky bands.
  • 0.5 mm tip: for the noses, eyes, curly fur and the flowers below.

A gift for dog people

Retriever, beagle, border collie, poodle, dachshund or spaniel: most dog lovers will spot a favorite. A natural fit for a hallway or family room.

Take it one dog per sitting and the row fills up steadily. With eight heads to divide, it works well as a project for the whole household.

Start with the eyes and noses

Dot the eyes and nose of each dog first, so the expression is set before you do the coat. Use shorter touches on the curly poodle fur to keep it fluffy.

Eight happy faces in a row make this a piece people walk up to. The flower border under the fence and the sun above tie the long line together.
