Sleeping Poodle Pencil Study Canvas Print

No, the soft grey doesn't soften the room. It defines it. All that fine pencil work on a plain white background sets the tone for everything around it, and the room gets quieter and more considered as a result. Hang it at eye level in a hallway, above a low sideboard, or on a bedroom wall where you see it last thing at night. It sits happily with linen, wool, pale or dark wood and simple off-white walls. Keep the surrounding surfaces clear — busy patterned wallpaper or a crowd of bright colour prints will fight the fine detail and you lose the curls entirely. As a canvas the surface is matt, so there is no shine across the pale background.
