‘Waiting’ Bullmastiff portrait in colour pencil

Tuesday, December 13th, 2005

This is probably my favourite piece that I have done this year. The look in this dog’s eyes just says it all, he is laying there patiently waiting for his owner to come back.

This piece was completed purely in colour pencils on cream Stonehenge paper and took well over 55 hours of work to complete. It was worth it though, because it was awarded First Place in the Painting & Drawings: Animals class at the second Art Show I entered last month – pretty amazing seeing as colour pencil is such a new Fine Art medium, and because the other entries included oils, acrylics and pastels!

Cheers

Siberian Husky – Dog Pet Portrait in Progress

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2005

Well what do you know, its day two and I am actually posting! Today has been one of those Blah type days, you know the kind that you’d rather forget? Seeing as I am quite please with this so far, I thought I’d cheer myself up and post a progress shot of Amarok’s portrait…Amarok is a seven year old Siberian Husky. This started out in pastel and colour pencil but has ended up mostly acrylic, what can I say, I got carried away with my paintbrush:) This is my second attempt at an animal in acrylic so I am actually pleasantly surprised that it is looking pretty good. And I am really enjoying slapping the paint around. It still needs alot more work on the right ear (viewers right) and the large expanse of white fur needs further layers and modelling, and I am not yet happy with the mouth. Of course this is a pretty cruddy picture and the colours are not true to life – there is actually a good amount of cream fur above the eyes up to the base of the ears.

So here she is, Amarok in progress (after about 10 hours work)…hopefully I can finish her by the weekend.
