Varnished and almost ready to ship!

Posted on by Zara Toms
After leaving my recent Tiger painting to dry while I was away on holiday it was now ready to varnish this week :). I have to say... This is a very satisfying part of the painting process. The colours, contrast and depth once varnished really do finish off every painting. The best way to describe it would be.. If you printed a photo off on normal paper and then the same photo on photo paper t...

NEW GIRAFFE… NEW STYLE!

Posted on by Zara Toms
Ok... This is something that is entirely different to what I have ever done before. I have scheduled this post later today than my usual 8am purely because it didn't go live on my social media accounts until 6pm. I would love to hear over on my social media what you think? 🦒😁 I did say it was something COMPLETELY different to what I normally do 😁🦒. At tim...

More Spaniels :)

Posted on by Zara Toms
When I was asked to draw these six beautiful dogs I couldn't wait to start them. Each portrait was A3 (11.7" x 16.5") in colour pencil. I was then asked to paint the same reference photographs on a large 29" x 21" canvas in acrylics. Their owner has since added two more Cocker Spaniels to her family so today I have the pleasure of drawing them to :). After that I will be planning another acry...

I have so many adorable pet portraits on my waiting list and I cannot wait to start them. For now here is a revisit to a portrait I completed earlier in the year :) Baloo A4 (8.3" x 11.7") Pastel Portrait

Cheetah cub sold

Posted on by Zara Toms
A few weeks ago I sold my Cheetah cub original drawing. I am now planning to have a good look for some more references to come up with something special. I have two ideas in mind... I may end up choosing both 😂.Do I go with a mother and cubs... Or do I go with a sunset silhouette... Hmm A5 (5.8" x 8.3") Graphite Portrait mounted to 10" x 12"Reference photograph by Emmanuel Keller @ W...

Maisey & Lexie Update

Posted on by Zara Toms
First off... Ignore the background... If I got the colour of Maisey right the background went a bit erm.. vibrant! Not that it matters because I have the background left to do once both of them are finished. I don't actually do the backgrounds after but I was to impatient with this and wanted to get my dogs started! I have made it far harder for myself. This is a huge painting that I am ...
