A LITTLE NOIR

So this is my second page from a shared sketchbook that I've begun working on with my man Scottso on the Late Show (scott anderson). The book is a dialogue of sorts, where we riff of the others previous page. His last image was a great little painting of a dog (see great little dog painting here). I decided to take off on the leash theme and did this acrylic painting. Acrylic is not really my choice of mediums. It feels a bit clumsy to me. I can't figure out if its oil or water color. With that said, there are a few passages in this piece that I love and felt connected to the medium. Recently, at a sketch group, I overheard a guy talking about drawing with his left hand and how it felt freeing. I'd say the same thing for this experience . . . a bit clumsy but a bit freeing too.
