This was my start from last night. It has a bit of history - a drawing, with some paint underneath, which wasn't working for me - so I scraped white gesso over it. I then did a quick drawing, mixed up a neutral and painted around the image and stopped. I just wasn't sure where I wanted to go. So left it overnight and took a second look this morning. (I did a new drawing for Day 25)

I tried to keep some of the underpainting, not as much as I planned but it's all about the practice - right!

ReplyDeleteThank you Sherry!
DeleteAlways enjoy knowing some of the history of a painting—thanks for including visual and verbal!
ReplyDeleteIn "Bandana" I'm particularly drawn to what comes across to me as a juxtaposition of alert left-brained obedient stillness of posture and soft right-brained asymmetries, hints, and blurs.
I think I could have done a little less, but if I had worked on him that evening - it all would have been lost! Again Dotty you have seen and put into words much more than I can!
DeleteLove the bandana! And,of course the dog! Just the right amount of punch! Thanks for the process lesson.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Carol! What is it with dogs and bandana's!?
DeleteSimply sweet. I just wanna hold him. Stylin'! Love seeing your process, as your work is so inspiring. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you Sheila - I'm glad he makes you feel good!
