Painting Lady Peppy - Yes, I finished my Downton Abbey Shih Tzu 🙂
Lady Peppy, the 'Downton Abbey' version of my stepmother's Shih Tzu, is finally done.
I wasn't sure I'd finish her, but maybe I didn't like the sculpt just because I don't normally put animals in clothes. It just isn't 'me' somehow. I love the idea, and there are some wonderful examples of that type of sculpture done by other artists. But it takes time to get used to the idea...
I did change Lady Peppy before I painted her - I got rid of the silly bow on her hat and fixed her eyebrows and muzzle. Let me know what you think after you watch the video.
If I made something like this again I'd bring the collar all the way up to her chin. I think it would have been much nicer that way.
It was so much fun trying to figure out how to paint her that I ordered some new detail brushes. They aren't here yet, but I hope to learn how to use them, with some help from a few fellow YouTubers, before it's time to paint the moose I'm currently working on. He's really big, so I might not be able to get away with just splashing on a coat of moose-colored paint. :)

Magic Sculpt I used for the face and hat band (affiliate link): https://amzn.to/3hlrhuK - It's very similar to Apoxie Sculpt.
🐶I found a great video of an artist painting a black Labradoodle with a red muzzle. I don't know how to use that style on a sculpted dog, but it's still a great video: https://youtu.be/oVuBJmJW3So
