Creation of a Chalk Pastel – the Steps:

Midori Halo

Midori was about 10 weeks old at this photo taken by her owner Midge.  I loved this photo from the moment I saw it.  The puppy looks so mature for her age and size.  I like the look of concentration and concern and intent in her facial expression.

2nd pic - Now I've completed her eye and ear - 

I work from left to right as I'm right handed -

 no smearing then!

3rd pic - I've added some of the background – blue 

I added blue because the background in the picture I'm

working from is blue.

I love blue and think it's the best color for this golden dog.

Midori's Owner says:  Bevinne - Thank you so very much for the beautiful drawing of my sweet Midori Pup.  I love it!  ... I better get it into the frame shop, before I cave in and show him (her hubby). Thanks again, M****

Enjoy the Art and I hope it takes you 'there'.
