  • 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.

    Reference photo is courtesy of Stella’s owners.

     

  • 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.

  • Horse in Paddock

    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
