Chiara and Victor

11X24 inches with graphite on Stonehenge paper.
This was my first foray into drawing a girl and her horse. I managed to achieve the fluid movement of the two. In real life, they are a perfect match. Husband said it was one of my better ones recently. I gave it to Chiara and she said she loved it.

Lady of the Lake

This is a mix of CP and graphite. The graphite was used to generate the shine and depth in the water on the right. The water drops on the leaves was a challenge and also to get part of the leaves to appear to be submerged.

Macaws

I drew these Macaws from a beautiful photograph from the Reference Image Library on WetCanvas. The amazing thing about this drawing was that it was sold long before the drawing was finished.

I wanted the birds to appear high up in the canopy and thus the photo was modified to give this appearance.
