Big boy - update

here is an update on Big Boy. I've altered the underpainting and started painting actual hairs. Also started the grass, I intend to leave it and have the space above free/white.
I also attach a pic of my materials used.

Big Boy - Great Dane

I have started a new journey with this painting, as it is in acrylics. I've had my paint and brushes waiting a long time, only done a few tests untill this one. So I am not sure how this will progress.
I took the ref-photo at a dog-show. I had never seen this coloring on a great dane before, in danish it is called "platten-hund" (from german). The dog is almost white only with a few large black spots (not like a harlequin-colored with many small spots).
I think my title Big Boy suited him very well.
The size is A4 (21 x 29,7 cm), and I suppose I should have started on a larger support, but that'll be for the next one.
