One of my Christmas Commissions came from a lovely lady after a drawing of her fella with one of his best catches! Although I know nothing about carp fishing, I was pretty impressed by the size of the fish in the photographs! I’ve tried fishing in the past, just in a river and once orContinue reading “There’s something fishy about this one…”

Introducing Taz…
My latest drawing… Probably my most challenging to date, as the only photo available was a scan of a 6×4 photo which is highly contrasted. Normally I’d have to decline, but with the dog in question having just passed over the Rainbow Bridge, I was compelled to at least give the drawing a go! NowContinue reading “Introducing Taz…”

It was such a beautifully composed image, and there is such a genuinely loving gaze shared between the two, I just couldn’t resist! It’s my first time using coloured pencils drawing a portrait,Continue reading “The Horse Whisperer”
Trying my hand at a pet portrait in colour pencil
You will have noticed I have recently started drawing pet portraits (and one human!) in graphite. A friend approached me and asked me to draw her favourite photo of her daughter and her horse. I got out my pencils and paper and sketched in the outline ready for shading … then I sat back andContinue reading “Trying my hand at a pet portrait in colour pencil”
