This is an oil painting on a museum wrapped stretched canvas and is painted on the sides as well. Ready for hanging. I know these dogs have a bad rap but I find them friendly and clownish. Very curious, just like other terriers. I wouldn't want to provoke one. While working on this painting the sheen of the wet paint was getting in the way of see the color. I couldn't see if it was white or blending with the grey too much. When this happens, and it often does when working wet into wet, I get out a soft, flat sable brush and lightly, oh so very lightly like a feather, smooth out the brush strokes. This takes away the raised up lines that the brush makes so that the light hits the canvas more evenly. I can see then what color I really have. I don't like to do this much because I like seeing the paint stroke, but today I was trying to paint it as my daily and needed to get it done. So here it is.
