Pet Portraits with Earth Pigments
Posted: January 25, 2019 Filed under: eARTh | Tags: animal paintings, earth pigments, painting, pet portraits, Pigment, Visual arts Leave a commentI was recently asked to paint some dog portraits for friends and family – something a bit different. It was a good reminder of my own skills as an illustrator and draftsman and an affirmation of the suitability of the pigments for a series of wildlife images I hope to produce sometime soon. I used a combination of Cornish and North Devon earth pigments for the paintings and really enjoyed the results…
