This painting shows a black-and-white dog sitting upright, facing forward. The fur is thick and dark, with a white patch on its chest and legs. The background is a plain, light brown color, and the brushstrokes are loose and visible, giving it a rough texture. The dog’s pose is simple but confident, with its front paws tucked neatly under its body. The painting looks like it was done quickly, with some areas of color blending softly while others stay sharp. If you like this style, look up impasto next.
