All of my portraits are produced using finest artist pencils, based on your favourite photograph (or photographs) of your pet/pets and are drawn on a heavyweight, acid-free 170gsm artists' paper. For colour portraits I use Prismacolor pencils; these are soft and blendable and give a wonderful, vibrant colour whilst still being capable of producing exquisite detail.
