What a fab idea for a retirement gift. And such a feel-good portrait to draw too! As Chair of our local Canoe Club, Dawn spends many happy hours on the water with Bear and this is truly a fitting tribute to her long term commitment to the club. Happy retirement Dawn! And here’s to many more happy days paddling together 🛶🐕💦

Hello! Hope you’ve had a lovely summer? This boy has taken a good few hours of summer sketching in my free time. A Swaledale Ram. I like a fun little project in between commissions and when the light evenings are perfect for drawing. Lots of texture to play with and soft muted tones for this one. Drawn in coloured pencil on hot pressed paper, 12 by 8 inches.

It isn’t very often I show a work in progress on here. I don’t have a website, so I tend to use facebook to show finished portraits. It’s nice to share the process though, so here’s one at roughly halfway point. I’m right handed, and start at the left side and work to the right. Why? Well drawing is quite a slow process of layering and I worry about smudging my work with my hand! Lots of soft ear fluff to go with this smiley boy.

Here comes the weekend! Hope you have something nice to look forward to. I’ve just been framing this latest portrait, ready to hang in its new home. This little beach boy has so much tousled blonde hair, I just loved drawing him and his ‘ready for anything’ expression! Have a lovely evening everyone whatever you’re doing.
