This is an old drawing I was asked to draw for a student's daughter as a birthday gift. I think I did this in 2017. I wanted to add to this blog to show how involved something like this is. This was in fact my second attempt as the first one was done by scribing the paper and added graphite to make the hair more realistic, but after spending a week on it still was not right, so this then became a pure graphite attempt, and I was very plased with the likness. I used various pencil grades and I also used an fine pen eraser to create the effect of the lighter fur. I realy focused on the eys as this is where the likeness really mattered.
Tiger's face

This was a result of using pastel pencil on pastelmat paper, this was a demonstration done in an art class last month. Having spent a term in this class working in pencil and watercolour on pastel mat, and being inspiried by Jason Morgan a Welsh pastel and oil painting artist. I was suprised how great the paper takes layers of pastel. This was very engaging to do with the use of watercolour washes as the first layer and then added pastel pencil strokes to build up the tones and the final stages of the white wiskers were added at the end, I particulary like the eyes. I hope to attempt this method on my Spaniel again.
Winter scene in Gouache

Capture winter in Gouache! I found an artwork online that I wanted to re-interpret in Gouache paint, I did not use pencil to do a simple sketch but painted straight onto watercolour paper. I am getting more used to using this medium. I decided to flip the original image and just create my own version. Starting with the sky and then working down to the horizon, changing the blues all the time. This could be any scene from Wales or England, but it would be evn better to paint such a scene from life, perhaps when I get more time to do so! This may well become a task for my students in the new term in Jan 2023.
