Leopard - 'Concentration'

I started this one a very long time ago and always meant to get around to finishing it. My upcoming exhibition got me motivated and here it is.

Measures around 14" x 16" using pastels -Derwent and Faber Castell Pitt pencils and some softer sticks for the background. Support is maize coloured Clairfontein Pastelmatt.

  5. Thanks folks :-) Good to see you back Gail.

    My exhibition will be at Hestercombe Gardens near Taunton in Somerset. They have a restaurant/Gallery there, so wont be short of visitors. I will be drawing at the weekends across lunchtime, just to drum up a few more commissions (I hope). It is from Mon 18th June to Sunday 8th July.
