Drawing to the Beat Part 2:Surrender


After painting blindfolded this is what I ended up with.  It really does look like a dog. I entertained the possibility of something else but I just couldn't see past the dog. So surrendered to what  it was and ran with it.
It just so happens that I love dogs.  As an only child the family dogs were my best friend. In this piece I really focused on the eyes and capturing the soul the animal. The face of the dog monopolizes the canvas so I wanted to bring the viewer in deeper with the expression of the eyes.I created contrast by taking a so called tough dog breed, the rottweiler and gave it  a sensitive caring expression.

Here is the finished product!

I really love this chaotic technique. Like life, it's about making the most of the hand you are dealt with.
Much inspiration to you! Cheers
