Just a quick sketch of two hounds, not done from life obviously, but started with the gesture, blocked in and then taken to a simple open grisaille. Used burnt umber and some turps on a 9 x 12" raw linen board. Like the color of the linen as a mid-tone background color. Didn't need great light to do this and want to paint further in color come the morning.
