I was watching the Westminster Dog show the other night and got inspired to do a painting with this very theme. I love all the action that goes on at these "dog beauty contests" that I wanted to get as much action into the painting as I could. Since I'm a small image painter my workspace was limited to 6x8. I took extra care with the woman on the left because I wanted to get a look of disdain and jealously on her face. The look of movement of the presenter was indicated with some swipes of a fan brush with Liquin Light Gel added when the paint on the man's paints and the dog he is showing were almost dry. A blurry little movement was what I was looking for. I had lots of fun painting this.
