🏞✏ My first landscape ✏🏞

Posted on by Zara Toms

I have wanted to tackle something like this for a couple of years but always ended up drawing or painting a wildlife subject instead.   The photograph I chose for this drawing was one that demonstrated s...

Posted on by Zara Toms

Depending on the shape and origin of that droplet it will vary quite a lot in terms of colour. This is because of the translucency of the water enabling the surroundings and what is behind the droplet to almost be capsulated within it.  So due to how much they can vary I...

Meet Dingo the German Shepherd

Posted on by Zara Toms
🐾✏ Dingo ✏🐾 One of my favourite portraits to date. This handsome, very smiley German Shepherd was one that will feature as a full length German Shepherd tutorial on Patreon.
