I finished working on Baxter’s portrait last night and after some tweeking this morning, I scanned it. It is looking really well I think and I hope you will like it too. It was lovely to work on a square format, I think Baxter’s position in this portrait really suits it. I used pencils of…
Springer Spaniel Portrait in Progress
This is Baxter. I have worked on his portrait all day today and I am progressing really well. I should be finished tomorrow evening. The size of the portrait is 30 x 30cm and I will put it in a mount when it is finished. The first step was to sketch the portrait on paper…
Large Family Portrait in Pencil
I have now finished work on this large family portrait. I think it worked out pretty well and I tried my best matching the scan to the original. I scanned it in a few pieces and joined on my laptop, so some of the shading might look darker or paler than it is in reality….

Rottweiler Portrait in Progress
This is a new dog portrait I have started working on yesterday. It is of a beautiful rottweiler called Robin who has sadly passed away after her battle with cancer. She was only six years old.

White Horse Painting
I have finished this white horse painting yesterday morning. It was such an enjoyable painting to work on. The plan originally was to create a subtle landscape background with some greenery, but at the last minute I have decided to keep it much simpler. By just using a soft mixture of cobalt blue, titanium white…

I am using a lovely mixture of burnt sienna, titanium white and a little cobalt blue. The burnt sienna gives the mix a nice…
