Well...I began a new double dog portrait yesterday. I toned the 20" x 16" stretched canvas with a blend of raw sienna & burnt sienna by brushing the pigments on with a small amount of a medium made from 80% thinner and 20% stand oil. Then I rubbed off the excess with a soft cloth and did the rough sketch with the same colors using a #10 long handled hog bristle brush. After I had a fairly good rendering I went back in with a clean brush and just a touch of the medium and wet the areas that I wanted light and patted that up with my soft cloth to reveal the original white of the gesso on the canvas.
So ended the first session on this one.
Mahalo for stopping by. Aloha
