Pitbull

[FrankEV]

Wanted to see if I could do a decent job on a Dog portrait.  Found a bunch of stencils and images of various breeds.  This Pitbull Portrait with a Heart, caught my eye.  I converted it to a scroll Saw Pattern and sized it to fit on an 8x10 Panel.  The panel is 5/32” solid core Birch Ply.  Using my Air Brush, I painted both the 1/4” BB Ply backer and the cut panel with Artist Acrylic Air Brush paints.  The Panel was cut using Pegas #2/0 Spiral blades.   As usual, after painting and assembly the panel was protected with multiple coats of Krylon Clear Gloss Acrylic Finish.

The panel is mounted in a very inexpensive 8x10 frame I purchased in bulk on Amazon.

I think it came out fairly nice, if I have to say so myself!

Comments and critiques always welcome.

EDIT: I posted the pattern in PATTERN EXCHANGE

Just learning to use it.  Was trying to get some very fine lines but couldn't.  Had to speak with my son.  He said I needed to lower the pressure.  Had not tried that.  Still lots still to learn.

That is fabulous.  I have an airbrush but I am useless with it.

Take the nozzle cap off the brush and get as close to your work as possible with the needle  . I do hair line eye lashes on portrates this way with the Iwata HP-C
