Drawings and Compositions - personal and donated commission work 2020


Drawings and compositions featuring dogs





Dixie - images ready to use for drawing - practiced using iPad Adobe Photoshop apps.


The Best of British - Bull Terrier - pastel pencil, ink liner on watercolor paper  

Donated commission piece for a memorial card - the Staffordshire Bull Terrier - RIP Clint, a well known dog breeder, exhibitor and judge who sadly passed away during lockdown from a cycling accident.  This card was made and given from a dog club I belong to for his family.  Clint and his family  was from South Africa so the colors reflect the flag and the dog for the breed he was best known for.
Pencil, copic markers, pastel on card stock 

Dixie - in autumn or fall colors - an exercise in color and different approach to a dog portrait - combining of synthesizing of elements and ideas.  pencil, copic marker and Pitt markers.

Tulip the Samoyed - thank you card commissioned for a club member who donated tulip bulbs from their business as a fundraiser - the person owns Samoyeds and grows tulips commercially so I thought this was an appropriate idea to combine the two elements somehow.  This is a filtered photo of the image. Mostly white conte pencil on black paper.

Long Haired Weimaraner - another commission piece donated to a club member for the recent loss of a parent.  The person breeds Weimaraners and is a long standing club member so a simple white conte chalk on black card seemed to work - I added blue to the eyes just because I can!
Saluki and flowers - a work in progress as it is a little unbalanced as a composition - I had attempted to paint some flowers with water brush markers and didn't like the outcome so added the dog in - just need to work some more on this.

To quote the late Bob Ross "There are no mistakes in art, just happy little accidents'.  
Tibetan Spaniel - card made for a commission by dog club.  21 June 2020 - watercolor card - pencil, copic markers and black XF Pitt Liner on black card with white insert.
