What would work....

@ozgirl512 yeah I think so I make a bit of mess of paper not of black here and there and can’t clean itFrame is same size as paper is

@MiraRoss you're the artist and it's you're vision :)

@ozgirl512 yeah I was gonna do one colour on back maybe two and do it like clouded if you know what I mean

@MiraRoss I do.. Just some smudging, more or less, to stop the eye wandering off the paper?

@ozgirl512 yes just make the dogs stand out

@MiraRoss soft pastels maybe...

@ozgirl512 I only have oil paints oh and pencils

@MiraRoss I'm no artist, so I'll leave that in your hands lol

@ozgirl512 I’m not professional what I can do I’ve learnt myself.
Just don’t know which colours will go well

@MiraRoss for what it's worth, I think I'd stick to earth shades so as not to pull the eye away from the subject...

@ozgirl512 hmmm maybe darker browns. This is the frame I’m putting in

@MiraRoss that frame might be enough

@ozgirl512 it’s all the bits of black on the page I can’t get em off
