Happy with this portrait, lovely lab head to draw, great expression!
These lovely pair have been a pleasure to draw, I’m a real spaniel fan! They make great portraits and have so much character in those lovely eyes. Thanks for the comment about the ‘Welshie eye’ on my blog, Frak, it prompted me to upload this scan.
Just working on this lovely pair, always great characters spaniels!
Just finishing these two off, they make a great pair.
A Sheltie with a wall eye and sooo many colours!
This is the first of two spaniel portraits, these are welsh springer spaniels, a lighter brown than the liver and white spaniel portraits I’m used to. Always lovely to work with such pretty eyes, pastels are perfect for animal portraits.
Just adding the final touches to this lovely Vizsla pastel portrait, what a beautiful pose to work from. Alway tricky getting the right ‘brown’ but hopefully this one is coming along well.
I’ve enjoyed painted these two, they make a great pair. It’s always difficult painting brown dogs because the colour changes so much depending on the light. I was lucky enough to meet these two, though, which always helps me understand their individual colouring and characters.
Kipling came to visit for his portrait, a lovely kind faced boxer. I’m glad his owners are as pleased as me with the portrait.
