OCTOBER NEWS



 I have just bought some new shades of Murano pastel fine art paper. It has a naturally textured surface and 45% cotton content to give it a classic, luxurious feel. The paper weighs 160gsm and I will be trialling this on some greyhound pastel paintings in the very near future. I have plenty of different shades of Unison soft pastels, which I use in conjunction with traditional graphite pencils, usually 2B or HB.........

.

Mentioning greyhounds, this grey and white rescue greyhound looks a particularly good subject.........





I have just received a new order of artist oil paints from my supplier, Jacksons of London and I have several news colours I haven't tried before, namely Cobalt Violet, Violet Grey and Pyrrole Orange...........


This is my folder of dog photographs. These particular ones show dogs I have already painted and the originals are available to purchase in my shop............



I have also a new supply of canvasses and my favourite watercolour paper....
