This morning I did some more work on him with the same colors mentioned previously and the BG I did with Sennelier Soft Pastels. I have no idea what the color names are but I used three layers in the following order: some sort of dark blue like Indigo Blue, a brownish red, like Indian Red and a blue-green (similar to Prismacolor Peacock Green) all blended with stencil brushes. I wasn't as careful as I should've been around his edges so now I have to fix it as best as I can. Then again, I haven't even decided whether or not I'm finishing this piece. What do you think? Can it be saved at all? Your brutally honest opinions are very much appreciated, since I don't want to waste more time with something that can't be saved. I have too many other projects going on, so if you think Tufty's hopelessly ruined, do say it, please!
Hugs,
Jade

I just love the bunny and the St Bernard.
Very nice job.
Thanks for visiting my blog! I love yours, your colors are wonderful!
he is NOT ruined!! It just needs a little tigtening up with some darker darks and crisper lines around the exterior. The shading is fantastic though... you've obviously been staring at it too long. Maybe stick it away for a few days and then you'll see! You are really onto something!! Lovely!
