I am going to ask this on another site . I figured to give you guys a chance due to the fact there are so many varied interests here .
I have a piece of Buffalo rawhide stretched in a picture frame . It has been scraped free of fat and meat . There is still a fibrous membrane which defies normal scraping .
This hide is going to be left in the frame and a cave drawing style painting put on it . It is as flat as can be and aside from the rough texture would make a neat canvas for the painting . I do not want to scrape it or treat it any further .
It is perfectly placed and tied in which took me hours .
I would like an idea for a neutral colored base coat (rock grey , tan , off white ) . This coat would have to have a high adherence . I would like it to adhere well to the fibrous surface and if possible give me a smoother surface on which to paint or sketch in charcoal . I would prefer if this base coat were of a natural source . Considering my unusual request I am willing to comprimise on this .
My dog died recently and this is to be a tribute to him . It will hopefully be a painting of he and I hunting a wild cat . If anyone has any ideas as to a style of drawing that is more than cave drawing stick figures but still in a primitive style let me know .
