Cheers glad he's happy with it,it was something a bit different for me if I remember right and yes, I did enjoy the colours in the red dog, good photo and a little artistic licence

Real nice them mate do you airbrush as well sandy as you can get some fantastic results from airbrushing .

no just a mix of pastels and watercolour mainly, i have discovered Pan Pastels recently which give very subtle tints.

Cheers TB, yes but it gets better with practice and learning techniques.

Then found Pastels in my 20's.

Thank you.  Indeed having things around use that please our eye is important. Doesn't have to be expensive,  just has to bring  use pleasure as our gaze passes.

Your very talented

I hope to get a stall at a few shows this year,  taking commissions, selling originals and prints etc. 

I'm also working on a couple of projects to add to my prints but I'll put them up on here when done. I had hoped to get stuff done long before now but life has been a little busy over the last couple of years and hasn't been straight forward for any of us . 

People on here and across the way have been decent about letting me use photos for reference and buying my work which has helped me develop my style and push my boundaries so I try to give something back. Plus my favourite subjects are working dogs, i could get commissions for pets all day but... a terrier with the  marks of its trade or a lurcher with its prize! They're what I  enjoy working on.
