Every other Wednesday (at 7pm GMT) we stream a feedback show on our YouTube Channel. Don't worry if you can't tune in live because the replay is available to watch right after! We've embedded the video and our discussion points below:

What we discussed:

  • Choosing a Mount for Gabriele's picture that is a similar colour or tone to the dogs ear or fur.
  • How much changing a background can improve the whole picture
  • Blending the background into the animal painting and how to extend the animal depending on the composition
  • How putting on too strong a base will mean other background colours will just rub off
  • Putting on a background first opposed to last
  • Picking the composition of your picture
  • Colin's choice on painting a wet dog
