Creation of a Chalk Pastel Painting

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.

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

Here I've added more background –

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'.
