Commissioned Portraight of " ZAP " the wonder dog. Zap is Winston's best buddy and has my neighbor, Pat, as his pet person. Zap travels back and forth to Arizon to stock up on Green Chillies, for his snacks.
Zap is going to be on a sheet of Arches, 140 lb. cold press 12 x 12 paper. I transferred his likeness onto the paper, using my light table, then soaked and stretched the paper, then stapled it to Gator Board and letting him dry. I'll also tape the edges later and start choosing my pallet.

I'm hoping Zap will like it. Seeing as Zap doesn't shave much, applied masking fluid on whiskers, hair and highlights in the eyes.

I just painted a dog, too that has just passed away and gave it to her owners yesterday for their 'shrine' for Elska. Forgot to take a picture of it, darn it.

Here it is dried and the salt removed. Next comes the hard part.
