Thank you everyone for your comments. I am working on perfecting this technique of creating images that look like chalk drawings on colored paper.
This image was printed as 16X20 on Arches Infinity Rough, which was the only paper that could faithfully hold the subtle tonal shifts in the background and in the dog's ear. #3283282
