Henry - Sleeping by

Medium: Pastel
Support: Artists Pastel velour

This is Henry doing his favourite thing! His mum tells me that he is so affectionate and such a Mummy’s boy, but the pink scars on his nose are from his many altercations with the neighbourhood cats! Well I suppose it’s tiring work staying on top of things ;0)

    This is so beautiful. You have rendered sleeping Henry so expertly, and are obviously a master of your medium.

  • Very kind comments Bev. I have recently discovered Hanenmulle velour pastel paper which makes a huge difference for me, it seems to add more depth. So I am still getting used to what I can an can’t do with the paper and pastels.
