Mixed media dog
I thought I'd try something new, using all my art supplies.  I started with a  5 x 7 piece of pastel paper.  I layered the following items...words rubber stamp using watermark ink, flowers, and then I drew an outline of what was suppose to be a French bull dog.   Then I tried my gouache to add color to the dog and flowers.  I forgot how opaque gouache can be and really didn't like how flat the color looked, so I went back in with my neocolor crayons dry, then using a wet paint brush to exploded the color.   I continued to fine tune the piece until I did all that I could do.  Didn't want to spend a lot of time working on this piece.  Total time to create about 1 hour.
