Finished Portraits

Oliver is finished :)

Posted on by Zara Toms
Love love love the photograph I was asked to use for this portrait. Peaceful and calming to draw, for sure. I have to say.. that blanket took just as long as it took to draw Oliver himself 😂. All that texture and pattern of the blanket took many layers. Pastels worked so well for his portrait. The beautiful colour and vibrancy in his markings was so well suited to pastels and them creatin...

The people are finished :)

Posted on by Zara Toms
This portrait has been one that has really been something I could get my teeth into. It required me to approach certain aspects differently such as blending and layering. It did take lots of colours in the correct order to get the individual skin tones. A really light hand to apply the lightest of pastel colour in many areas was the key to getting the skin texture and tones. A3 (11.7" x 16.5"...

Tiger Collage

Posted on by Zara Toms
On Monday, my latest black and white painting made its way to the USA. I loved the expression in this Tigers face and how the photographer captured it at that exact moment. I did use a lot of artistic licence to make this piece my own as I usually do on all my wildlife pieces. Obviously working on black and white but I also hyped up the contrast a lot. Really making the most out of this monochrom...
