  • Stella

    This is my drawing of Stella, a liver and tan German Shepherd.  She’s lovely and has an easy going temperament.  It was a pleasure to do her portrait!

    The drawing is on Fabriano Artístico hot pressed watercolour paper.  The pencils used are Faber Castell polychromos, Caran d’Ache luminance, Derwent coloursoft & lightfast pencils.

  • Corgi

    Corgis are lovely little dogs.  I know three personally.  Two of them are Welsh Pembrokes and the other a Welsh Cardigan.  Although the two breeds differ in appearance the personality and temperament seem to be the same.  And they love to play!

  • White Tailed Deer

    I’m pretty sure this is a White Tailed Deer.  The caption for the photo was of a Brown Buck so I know he’s a male.  His antlers captured my attention and I thought he would make a lovely subject for a portrait.

    I’ve used Faber-Castell Polychromos, Caran D’ache Lunimance and Derwent Lightfast and Coloursoft pencils to create this drawing.  The surface is Fabriano Bristol + paper.  This paper is great for coloured pencil, ink and watercolour pencil work.
