I'm not going to be able to draw for a while so wanted to get the Christmas orders as far advanced as possible. Clients have been told that I'll be back at the drawing board early December and will just have to make final tweaks then. I don't know whether I'll get enough time to paint roof tiles and rocks to sell at the exhibition I'm participating in Mid December .... time will tell
So ... this is where I've left the Welsh Springer spaniel.. Although she's portrayed on Pastelmat paper which boasts that pastels don't need to be 'fixed' I did give her a light spray and the usual horrible thing happened when the whites threw a 'hissy fit' and sunk into the paper so I spent a while reworking the highlights. Still needs a bit more detail added and lots of whiskers etc
the cat is outlined but no real work done on it yet so nothing to show here

Looking lovely. Delightful portrait.
ReplyDeleteLovely portrait Sue, despite the fixative problem the whites look nice and bright. I dread using fixative, never sure what the result will be.
