Dog portraits

After seeing some work on Facebook by an artist using Pitt pastels, I wanted to try this medium, but, the downside was cost. They are quite expensive. By chance though, I was told by a friend, of a woman who was returning to live in Australia after many years here. To save on shipping costs she was selling much of her artist materials, so I contacted her and went over to see what she had. I managed to get hold of a substantial amount of supplies, including more oil paints, acrylics and a huge collection of Pitt pastels. What a stroke of luck! I didn’t waste long having a go and here are two A4 portraits of my dog, a Parson Russell, and a Springer Spaniel which belongs to a young lady on my course.

I have A4 giclee art prints of these if anyone is interested in purchasing one, £25 each. Please contact me at yvonnejenningsart@yahoo.com for more information.
