Meerkats finished

The Meerkats are now done and all I need to do is pack them up and send them off to their new home. I have called it  'The Lookouts'.

Meerkat Commission

I have just started this new commission of a couple of Meerkats. I do love these chaps and it seems so do many others.

Measures 12"x16"

Support: Pastelmatt in Maize

Medium: Derwent Tinted Charcoal Pencils. Background Ashby pastel sticks.

LOOK! - over there.

This is the last of my entries for the UKCPS exhibition. Slightly more detailed than the previous two done in this style. I need to keep a grip on my obsession with detail otherwise it gets out of hand.

Size: About A4

Support: Fabrianno Artistico HP (as usual)

Media: Watercolour and salt, Faber Castel Polychromo pencils.

What? Where?

I have just completed my little group of meerkats in time for the Illminster exhibition 'Diversity' which is being held at the Meeting House in Illminster from the 6th to 18th September together with Pauline Longley and Diana Connor. If you are in the area then please pop in, we would love to see you. I will be showing my wildlife drawings in graphite, coloured pencils and pastels.

I find these little chaps so engaging and amusing. I had some reference photos of them and grouped them together to make a panoramic composition which I think works well. I used graphite again for this one....I seem to be on a graphite kick at the moment. The paper I used is Mellotex ultra white and the size is 20" x 9" so each individual is fairly small.
