New Pastel on Velour

The companion portrait to the other pastel of a young girl, both sisters. A difficult expression to capture, but still fun. 11"x14" on velour. I'm on a roll. Will begin soon two more on the velour.

Pastel on Velour of Young Girl

Back to doing humans again! LOL This is the first pastel I've done on the velour of a person (not pet). It is a young girl around 8-9 yrs old. I took the photos myself which I worked from. About 11"x14" size. I am truly enjoying working on the velour paper and my next one will be of this girl's sibling. I have been very frustrated with working in oils and the joy just was not there. But, I am finding new joy with the pastel on velour! So, I will be focusing on this for awhile. Hopefully, I will feel more comfortable with color when I return to doing oils.

Graphite Portrait of Tippin

Pet portrait of a black Labrador puppy. Black fur is not easy and was very challenging. About 5"x7" on Aquarelle Arches paper with graphite in different hardness. This is the fourth dog portrait in the last month...I must be on a roll here. Am taking commissions for Holiday Pet Portraits.
