In this narrated Pastel Pet Portrait Tutorial 11 x 14" I share with you my techniques and tips on how to simply and straight forward way to do the outline and Under Drawing stages. Creating this portrait as a tribute pastel drawing for my Niece. Unfortunately, Alfie is now longer with us, here are some beautiful words about Alfie from my Niece...
"I knew Alfie would be super special from the first moment we met him. I know people say that a
puppy chooses its owner, but this was so true with Alfie. We went to pick our new puppy with no
expectations at all. We walked in and all the puppies were busy playing together, except for this
beautiful little black and white puppy who walked straight over to me, so I bent down to greet him and held out my hand and he lay his head in my palm and from that moment and for the next 13 years we were completely inseparable.
He was the most loyal and loving, faithful friend anyone could wish for and I feel totally blessed to have had him in my life. Everyone that met him couldn’t believe he was a Cocker Spaniel, seeing as they have a reputation for being a tad nuts! But not Alfie, he was always so chilled and affectionate, so long as he was always with me, he was at his happiest.
I chose this picture for Dave, because when I look at into his eyes, I see the beautiful soul he was and just looking at this picture fills my heart with love and cherished memories of my beautiful boy."
Enjoyed every minute painting him. Be sure to watch the video though to the end as here and there I will be slowing thing down the real-time so you can take a closer look.
