Art Process Vid: Greyhound with Sunflowers Part 2

Hi everyone,

Welcome to my next video! Please remember to like, subscribe and hit the notification bell if you like what you see and would enjoy getting reminded when I upload new vids.

I just want to say upfront that there is some clicking in this video in the audio because my new microphone is picking up the mouse clicking when I hit start and stop on the audio recording. So, apologies for that and hopefully I can figure out a way to do that without the clicking being picked up next time.

This video is the second part of the footage of the greyhound with sunflowers in the background. I've since decided to name this piece "Parhelion" which means sun dog. I've always liked the word and think it fits the subject matter well.

This piece has been donated to Always Greyhound Fundraising Group for an auction later this year, and some greeting cards have been donated for the initial spring auction coming up soon. You can check out the group and auction items here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1193526747645940 The proceeds are mainly going to Candy Cane Rescue currently which does a lot of work bringing dogs back from China where they have been sold for breeding or into the meat trade. Very worthwhile work.

This piece was a lot of work over a period of around 3 weeks but I did take some time away from it regularly to make sure I didn't burn myself out or rush to finish it. I'm really pleased with the end result and it taught me a lot along the way, especially about not judging what the end result will be when you are only partway through. I have to keep reminding myself how many layers go into a finished picture with ink, and keeping videos of pieces like this progressing really help to remind me of this lesson.
