One of two drawings I have been working on these past few weeks has been this gorgeous Cocker Spaniel puppy. So many curls for such a little dog but each and every one of them only add to his adorability in my opinion. LOVED drawing him even though I was starting to see curls in my sleep!

Was really pleased to see that 'Animal Art Adventures' is the featured blog in Julys edition of The COLORED PENCIL Magazine - thank you CPM :-)

Original available - get 20.12% discount off cost if purchased on or before Friday 15th June

Seem to have a bit more time to do things this week and have put it down to not having my adorable daughter around to distract me, clean up or run around after. She's on holiday with friends and yes, I'm missing her loads (and worrying more) but welcome all this extra time even if it's not going to last long. I have even managed two blog posts in the space of a week – blog posts being one of the things that more often than not gets pushed further down my list of things to do. Really need to change that!

Finished the Clydesdale drawing I started back in May but still thinking about a name for it. Have played around with a few but need to give it more thought – as always seems to be the case with me and putting a title to something. You can get 20.12% off the cost of this drawing or any others that I currently have available if you buy within the next few days. The Olympic torch has been making its way around Scotland this week and in celebration of this and the 2012 games I am offering the 20.12% discount. My little celebration because I can :) The offer ends Friday (15^th) so not long to grab yourself a bargain.

I had the pleasure of meeting and photographing this handsome boy, above, a few weeks ago. Don't think he was overly pleased at having his run time continually interrupted by me and my camera but he was ever so good and posed when needed. It's always nice when I get the opportunity to photograph my 'models' in person as it's not often possible.

I didn't manage to get a lot of in-progress shots for this drawing unfortunately as my computer is still playing up but here's what I did get.

Stig finished

Lots of blue skies and sun this week so far and, from what I hear, should be around for the rest of the week. I always feel I need to make the most of any sun we get seeing as we don't get nearly enough so it will be a few extended lunches for me I think. Well this could be our summer for all I know and I can always make up my hours away from the drawing board in the evenings.

My pastel drawing of Stig is now finished, mounted and has been delivered safely. Did I say I loved working on this one? I think I might have once or twice.

Working on a pastel portrait of a gorgeous Border Collie called Stig. He loved and excelled at agility so this portrait is all about capturing his drive, concentration and focus.

I agonised over this drawing in one way or another for some time before I even put pastel to paper - just couldn't quite make my mind up on the composition, medium to use or background colour to go for but got there in the end, and I'm really happy with how he is progressing. Many an hour has seen me happily lost in all that fur, very therapeutic!

Had planned a mini tutorial for this post along with a few step-by-step images to go with it – nothing much but it would have shown a little of how I worked on my latest piece and hopefully given you an insight into how I approach a cp drawing but my computer had other ideas. Annoyingly it's been playing up again crashing at every opportunity, i.e. all the time and always when in the middle of something! So another time it will have to be. The upside to no computer means more much needed drawing time so it's not all bad. That's what I keep telling myself anyway.

Vizsla

Back to coloured pencils for my latest drawing – it's been a while, or at least seems like it, since I've drawn anything with them. And what better subject to get back into them with than a Vizsla. Beautiful dogs!
