Self Portrait Demonstration (Artist)

I decided to do a self portrait. We never see ourselves the way others do. Artist throughout history have painted themselves leaving behind little facts about themselves. There is more to a portrait than just a picture.

Speed Painting – horse portrait in pastel (Billy)

admin — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 18:22:32 +0000

A time lapse film of my painting of Billy, a stunning chestnut horse. I made it using pastel pencils (all brands) on sanded paper (Fisher 400). This was a commission for Billy’s owners, and the painting is about 14×10″. I hope you enjoy watching. To answer the FAQs that I usually get: I don’t use water or any fluids. The background is in soft pastel sticks, the ‘brush’ looking thing I use on it at the start is a silicon ‘colour shaper’ tool: it blends the colours. The horse is done entirely with pastel pencils. The stick you can see some of the time is a Mahl stick, as used by signwriters. It’s just to lean my hand on without smudging the work. I do sell my work and take portrait commissions in the UK (it’s my living, so please don’t ask for freebies!), more about that on my website for anyone interested. I don’t do any teaching or tuition, I just make these videos from time to time because people seem to enjoy watching the process. Hope you do too… happy viewing!

Speed painting dog portrait in pastel (Setter)

admin — Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:55:19 +0000

A commissioned portrait of Jake the Gordon Setter, painted in pastel pencils (all brands) on sanded paper (Fisher 400). I wish I could really work this fast, but in reality it took about 20 hours. The painting measures about 18×16″. To answer the FAQs that I usually get: I don’t use water or any fluids. The background is in soft pastel sticks, the ‘brush’ looking thing I use on it at the start is a silicon ‘colour shaper’ tool: it blends the colours. The dog is done entirely with pastel pencils.
