Pet Artist painting with pastels not far from Barnstaple
A friend of mine who owns two dogs near Barnstaple one being a Spinone got in touch this week about a pet artist drawing. She likes pencil drawings in a loose scribbled style and asked me to try it out. So I did!
Rogan with his rugged fur and good looks made an ideal choice to have a play around with graphite pencils.
The surface I used was Pastelmat and wasn’t quite sure if this would work. Pastelmat has a slightly rough surface to ensure the pastel medium sticks. It has a lovely texture and worked really well with charcoal sticks.
My friend love it and it was a refreshing change from my usual colour pastel paintings. When I find time I would like to try a few more out in the style, although it is not something I will offer as a commission at this time.
