Meet Baloo

Baloo is a 7 year old blue German Shepherd. He is owned by a good friend of mine and this was a surprise gift for their mum. Baloo is her baby and the portrait was a special gift she can cherish. This was done in pastels on the warm grey paper. I added a subtle lighter glow behind Baloo to make him pop even more. A4 (8.3" x 11.7") Pastel drawing

Meet Aimee :)

I finished this A3 graphite drawing of Aimee the lovely Beagle last week. Sadly, Aimee is no longer with us and her family miss her dearly. The portrait means an awful lot to the her mum. She sent me a message saying she can't wait for the portrait to be home so that Aimee is back home where she should be. That really touched me and every hour I spend on them makes it so worth while knowing they ...

Monty’s Video

Here is the full time lapse video of Monty's pastel drawing :). Many hours compressed into a couple of minutes. Lots of layers as you can see and then a very light hand where the pastel pencils barely touch the paper to create the more finer, subtle details. https://youtu.be/CfVh2qO5ybI For Monty's portrait a subtle light blue, grey background was chosen. It enhances those similar shades...

Meet Monty :)

I can now share with you this recent portrait of Monty. He was an absolute joy to draw. As you know I love drawing black subjects and the pastels were so lovely to work with. We went for a blue background. Light shades with a very subtle off grey round the corners. It really drew you eye even more to those lovely eyes of his. A4( 8.3" x 11.7") Pastel drawing

Harper is finished

Harper is finished and has been dropped off at my framers to be mounted :). I have LOVED working on her portrait. This is my first attempt in pastels capturing a dog of her stunning colour. I had to use so many pencil colours and many many layers to achieve her rich, vibrant fur colour. She really is stunning. Fox red Labradors are very striking and that colour is what makes them a popular choice...
