Cocker spaniel portraits
Ears and feathering need a ground pale enough, or dark enough, that the edges remain.
The spaniel’s ears disappear into a mid-tone ground. Umber or cream keeps the outline. Olive can work if the dog is gold rather than black.
The studio example in watercolour is a cocker. Oil and the officer manner are equally available; the coat in that manner is painted, not worn in the photograph.
