Pure Gold

Color Pencil  8" x 10"

This afternoon's pooch.  A corny title!   

An exercise in restraint.
My rule was - no black, no white, no pastel highlights.  Anything else allowed.  It sorta achieved what I was after.   Eyes are tricky with color pencil since the catch light is not added, it's the white paper carefully preserved as 'white'.

That really is a birthday card dog, sweet and smiley. Preserving the white paper sounds rather like what Mandy has told me of her batik-making.
