Have started work on a pencil drawing of a Staffordshire Bull Terrier but it's still very much in the early stages despite my good intentions of aiming to have it half finished by today. What started out as being a couple of 'busy' days away from the drawing board turned into more and simply means I'll need to work that bit harder next week – still remain positive that I'll have it finished in time so not panicking yet. Should definitely have some in-progress shots to show early next week. One of my busy days was spent at the Royal Highland Show, which I always try and go to each year mainly because it's now tradition but it's also a great, if somewhat expensive, day out. I like to call it a mixture of work and pleasure and one year I hope to, no, will have my own stall there. I always go laden with my camera (the work part) looking for suitable reference photos of the animals on show for later use in my drawings. This year they (as in officials) made it difficult as for some reason lots of areas were cordoned off to the public unless you had a white wrist band – not sure how I go about getting one but have made a note to self to find out! So lots of zooming in with my camera was needed and only highlighted the fact that I want/need a better lens. I did manage to get a few good photos of Clydesdale horses that I really liked and can definitely see me using in the future but can't help thinking how many more I could have had if I had a new lens……... obviously:)
As of last Monday there is a new drawing up for offer in the Dutch Auction with 'Curiosity' now sold and currently on its way to the US. It's a coloured pencil drawing this time of a Morgan horse titled, believe it or not, 'Morgan'. Drawn on Fabriano Artistico paper the image size is 32cm x 18.5cm and with mount (it comes double mounted/matted) the overall size is 46cm x 31.5cm. Regular readers of my blog will know by now how the Auction works but for anyone new and for those who can't quite remember it basically works as follows ……  |
