Chipmunk amongst the flowers

I couldn't resist painting this cute fellow.  It is acrylic on canvas board and measures 4 x 6 inches.  Many thanks to Angeline Rijkeboer for the reference photo.

Snow Leopard in Acrylics

I decided to give acrylics another go for painting animals (tend  to use acrylics more for landscape paintings) after finding a new medium by Atelier - Glazing Liquid (Gloss).  I thought that the snow leopard that I had drawn previous would make an excellent painting.  It is 7 x 9 inches (18 x 23 cm) on canvas board. The reference photo is thanks to David Stribbling.  This was only the second painting that I have done using the medium and I really like how it works as  it suits my style of painting.   I will definitely be doing more animal paintings in acrylics.

Horse in Pastels

I have had an idea for a while for a painting of a horse galloping along a beach.  I found the perfect  horse reference photo on Wetcanvas by Canis Lupess which I was then able to combine with my own sea reference photo that I took last year in Tasmania.  I enjoyed painting waves so I will have to do some more paintings that have a sea background.

 

 

Snow Leopard in pencil

Just finished this one.  The photo reference is thanks to David Stribbling.  I enjoyed drawing this one and I am thinking of creating another painting or drawing using the same reference photo but this time drawing the full body and not just the head.  Just haven't decided on what medium to use yet. 

 

 

Labradoodle in pencils

I decided that I would start my blog with this portrait that I completed a few weeks ago. It had been on my to do list for quite a while after I came across the reference photo on Wetcanvas.   The contrast of dark and light made it a perfect portrait to do in pencil plus it has such a cute face that I couldn't resist drawing it.
