Slobber Chops, Dogue de Bordeaux mastiff Pin

If you want colour, here is some colour. A loose and impressionistic portrait of Bo, the dogue de Bordeax or French mastiff. Using watercolour and ink over a charcoal sketch, I chose a pose to work from taken at an angle from below his eye line which helps give an indication of his size. I've used every colour in the book apart from his natural colouring, the splashes and runs of paint give an impression of movement as if he is shaking his giant head.
