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.
Reference photo is courtesy of Stella’s owners.
My latest drawing is a mate of the little burro that I painted before. There were three horses in the paddock with him and he was the boss.
I love drawing animals but horses and dogs seem to be the most requested for commissions. While most of my work has been drawing, I also work in water colour portraits.
Pencils used in this drawing are Faber Castell polychromos, Caran D’acné luminance and Derwent lightfast, coloursoft and procolour.
The paper is Strathmore bristol smooth 300 series
My Mom’s backyard was full of wildlife. There were rabbits, squirrels, a groundhog and a skunk (who used to exchange homes in midseason). There were also chipmunks. And this fellow is one of the many.
I think that him and his little pals hitched a ride in my car one day when I was heading home because they seem to be here now…everywhere you look.
