NEW DRAGONFLY PAINTING

Posted on by Zara Toms
🖌🌷 Fresh off the easel 🌷🖌 I have been working on this acrylic painting during any spare minutes between other portraits. I spent hours finding a photograph I liked. Most Dragonfly photos they're just on bits of stick and I wanted to add something with flowers. As always it's nice to tick another wildlife subject off the list of animals to paint and draw :). A...

First time painting a Dragonfly…

Posted on by Zara Toms
Background is done ✅ This painting is one that a friend of mine has been asking me to complete for maybe a good two years. Having a couple of days free in between commissions I thought I would make a start on it. For this, I knew I wanted to have a bokeh background. A background which I LOVE. I really like how it can create a magical effect and add extra depth and dimension to the painting...

NEW ZEBRA PAINTING

Posted on by Zara Toms
🦓🖌 Fresh off the easel! 🖌🦓 Yesterday I finished my first Zebra acrylic painting. I've had a couple of suggestions to paint/draw one of these striped creatures and so pleased I can tick it off my list :). I knew from the start that I wanted to focus on creating that teal bokeh background and have those gorgeous colours reflecting in the stripes making the whol...

‘HARE – ACRYLIC PAINTING FOR SALE’

Posted on by Zara Toms
🐰🖌 'Hare today, gone tomorrow'🖌🐰 This always reminds me of the things in Spring that make me happy. Seeing the Hares and Rabbits dash across the fields, the daisies starting to emerge as the season gets in full swing. I love capturing movement and this is something I am keen to pursue in future projects I have planned. This Hare that was perfectly captured by...

‘On the pr-owl’ FOR SALE

Posted on by Zara Toms
🦉🖌 'On the pr-owl' 🖌🦉 I LOVED using the vibrant colours for this Barn Owl painting. The stunning Barn Owl photograph was the perfect pose. I created my own background and foreground for this as I knew I wanted a sunset theme so I then went about adding these colours that would naturally be reflecting on the bird to ensure the entire piece fitted together. ...

Tiger Mounted :D

Posted on by Zara Toms
🐾🖌 Mounted and up for grabs 🖌🐾 🐾✏ All mounted and looking for a home ✏🐾 As always, my framer has done a fantastic job mounting this original drawing.

Tiger on my easel!

Posted on by Zara Toms
🐾✏ On my easel ✏🐾 A close up, lots of detail and a striking pose is why I chose the reference photo for this portrait. I did a Gorilla portrait which was cropped tight to fill the paper which creates a really dramatic effect. It can work really well and since I started this portrait I have struggled to put the pencils down. The striped markings are w...

‘Tiger and her cub’

Posted on by Zara Toms
I completed this pastel portrait a few months ago. I had it professionally mounted with a double mount which is always my preference for my original wildlife piece. I think it adds more depth to the overall piece. I have only just got round to photographing it :). I used three different photographs and combined them to create a unique piece of art that is one of a kind. This original portra...
