This week i’m uploading a portrait of a dog painting which is not in my portfolio. Whilst updating with Copper the Beagle it made me remember Lucy.  So here she is in a cropped in style, and framed in a wood cream distressed moulding.

Pet Artist Barnstaple

A friend of mine who owns two dogs one being a Spinone contacted me this week.  She likes pencil drawings in a loose scribbled style and asked me to try it out.  

Rogan with his rugged fur and good looks made an ideal choice to have a play with a graphite pencil. The surface I used was a pale grey Pastelmat, and I wasn’t sure if this would work. Well this was the result!  It literally took about 20 minutes to do and was a refreshing change. 

I found it was fun to do and thought I may offer them as a compliment to any commissioned pastel painting.  These types of drawings are great to print as cards.  You can then add any text you wish and have them printed professionally online.
