Painting of Sassie

I decided to do a painting on canvas similar to the paint sketch I did in my book of my son's dog Sassie.

Painting / Sketches

Lately I have been drawing and painting in a "Canson Mix Media" book.  These are some painting/ sketches that I am working on in my book.

I am still trying to work on some animals and have got to like painting in this big Canson Mix Media book as the paper is excellent for acrylic paint and other medias.  The paper seems to hold up to nicely to the layering of paint.

It seems that I like to keep adding layers to the backgrounds.  The ravens above have several layers of acrylic and a partial layer of beeswax on them.  My plan is to put further layers of paint on them.

This girl was painted on a piece of scrapbook paper.  I liked the paper and decided to start drawing and painting on top of it. 

These paintings were done with acrylic paint and a 1 inch brush.  The background was stenciled on after.  This is my son's black lab "Sassie" who is getting up in age and would just sit there like this.
