Borzoi - Part 2

In between getting ready for Patchings Art Festival, working on the pastel tiger and printing I've been making slow progress on the Borzoi.
I've added some acrylic washes to add depth and then worked over the top with coloured pencil.

Gayle, this is so beautiful! How do you do an acrylic wash? Were you also using watercolor washes? Is the Strathmore Bristol Smooth paper a watercolor paper or drawing paper?

I put the acrylic wash over the pencil. I use transparent colours and an almost dry brush.
The paper is a drawing paper but will take a wash as long as you don't get it too wet.

Thanks Gayle. I think the wash adds some depth. Must try that!
