Big Cats in Pastel
When my children were little it was more practical for me to work in mediums that were easier to pack up than oil paints. During this time I turned to mediums such as water colour and pastel. Today I will share with you some of my pastel drawings of Africa's big Cats. I found that pastels work really well for the fur.

I know these paintings Vanessa but funny enough, they are much nicer that what I remember. They look so real don't they?
ReplyDeleteThe pastels really do work well for the fur. I think what you do is so amazing to see something and then just draw it wow

Your art is amazing love your work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much. I think it's like any hobby or passion, you feel the need to create, it's in your blood. I love drawing animals and people because they seem to come to life on the paper or canvas. And a photographer feels the need to capture a moment on film....or these days, on flash stick.
ReplyDeleteWhy have you been hiding these paintings of yours? I haven't seen them in ages. They're so beautiful they should be on display and not in a cupboard somewhere. Great work, a masterpiece each one.
ReplyDeleteSome day I hope to see these cats in their natural habitat. For now your lovely pastels will have to take their place.
