By special request, I have this sweet golden retriever on my easel tonight. I'm using handmade paper that is very soft and smoother than my usual papers. It absorbs the paint like crazy, so extra layering of color is necessary. Through the process I thought I'd switch after this painting, but I do like the polish a smooth paper lends. Perhaps, I'll paint a few before deciding on that. The result just might be worth the extra work. Painting number 5060 in 5060 days. I'll soon be taking a few orders for pet portraits at Three Springs Market at the Shawnee Indian Mission on November 21st, with a portion of the proceeds benefitting the mission.
