Well think I got Mike to a point where he just needs to sit for a few weeks now and thoroughly dry. I want to be sure that the muzzle areas are real dry so I get the whiskers on. I also would like to lighten up behind the ears so you see the dark outline and that will give them better shape. I also want the ruff areas dry so I can put some more strokes on there - it is pretty thick right now so not sure if I can do that - but hoping in about a week I can do that and then let it dry another week before I varnish.
Now back to the Grand Canyon and figuring out what to do as an alternative to working with the oils. Think maybe I'll try doing part of a vintage truck, which I got some shots of at our neighbor's house, in color pencils just for a slight break. Just gotta love chrome!!
Thanks for stopping by and hope you are having a great week.
