almost forgot it's all for fun

I was finally able to finish this massive painting, finding small amounts of time here and there to work on it. Trying not to have everything too forced or planned out, making sure the spontaneity of every hand movement would resonate in the final result. Mixing techniques to create a deep contrast between dynamic line-work and precise brushstrokes, muted and vibrant colors and using mixed media to achieve the effect.

The two dogs going at each other are almost ready to clash, but I wanted to capture the exact moment where one of them could potentially back away from the fight. It's an aggressive representation of all the anger currently present in our society and I wanted to convey that you don't always have to give in once you're enraged about something. Think before you act, even if it's at the very last moment.
