Tiger in Coloured Pencil

Sold

I stopped work on the cat to draw this tiger cub. It's coloured pencil and acrylic on Ingres paper, approximately 6 x 4.

I'm having a stand at a cat show next weekend and I thought it would be nice to offer a tiger print.

Hopefully in the near future I will be able to do more demonstrations for my blog and write some more interesting posts because I'm hopefully going to be leaving my day job at the end of March. Watch this space.

Red Deer in Mixed Media

I had one of those days yesterday where I didn't want to do anything serious, I just wanted to experiment.

I've found out that all being well with my pre-op tests they've moved my operation forward to this Saturday, that threw me a bit.

I have some lovely photographs of Red Deer that I've taken over the course of several years visiting the Highlands of Scotland. I have been planning a large Deer painting for a while, so yesterday I decided to do a Deer study.

This is an old stag and I wanted to leave his grey fur as it gives him character. It is on Ingres pastel paper and includes Neocolor, Coloured Pencil and Acrylic.

I'm not sure I'll finish him but it helped me to see the potential problems.

After rushing round all day to get things at work sorted out I got another phone call from the hospital to say they don't have a bed for me this weekend, I'm back to where I started, oh well.
