Having a nose!! 🌸🌸🌸 Using Pastel Pencils today to practice dogs nostrils .... why?? because nostrils are my biggest headache with pet portraits. This little one is peeking through a fence but I have zoomed in to focus on his nose. Base layers done now to define the details x (at Torquay)

It’s all mine!! 🌸🌸🌸 Next practice piece @cynthiavanderhoogte as promised. Using coloured pencils again because they are my weakness. If I could do everything in pastels life would be easier but I’m a Gemini and like a challenge. Working on placing the darker values firsts helps map out where to put the eyes, nose, mouth etc. As for the stick.... I’m going with the flow as never tackled one before lol x (at Torquay)

Pastel painting of beautiful Luna 🌸🌸🌸 Finally I can share a commissioned piece that was a surprise for my client to his wife for Christmas. I am so flattered that I was asked to paint Luna. I also met Luna when my client came to collect the painting. She is the cutest maddest black Labrador I have ever met. I’m so pleased with the finished piece. If you are interested in having a pet portrait in pastel, please DM me or email [email protected]. I would love to discuss your ideas x (at Torquay)

Stage one....Under painting done ✅ 🌸🌸🌸 she is looking a bit strange right now having only had one layer of pastels to block in the main parts, but I’m confident that the next layer of pastels will give the kitty a nice coat to keep her warm. I’m not sure if I will get time to finish this piece today with it being Christmas Eve...... sooooo much to do!! X (at Torquay)

I went over the time by 30 minutes. I’m really pleased with finished piece. Working loosely is not so bad after all lol. What do you think? X (at Torquay)
