Strength In Numbers

Strength In Numbers

“THANK YOU” AnitaInverarity, for buying a print!!

This is a colored pencil drawing that I created. The ink border is drawn free hand by me and then filled in with archival ink. The border and drawing: all on the same sheet, My borders are not separate from the drawings.

This is a mixed media piece. I used prismacolor pencils and archival ink for the border.

I used Strathmore, Vellum Bristol, 100# paper.
The total image size is 6.5” wide x 16.5” tall.

I love to use vellum bristol for colored pencil work and smooth bristol for pen work. This drawing is mixed and totally on the vellum bristol paper.

Any proceeds from the sale of this work on RB will be donated to The Philadelphia Mission.

    You really excel at painting giraffes … and as for those backgrounds … you must have the patience of Job.

    This series of giraffe images is superb. You should do everything you can to get them taken on board by a shop specialising in African imagery. They’re wonderful.

  • Catherine Howell replied

    Hi Dan, I truly appreciate your view and comments:) So far, my art is unknown and I know nothing about how to market my work, though, I have been doing research on the net. My goal is to have a major gallery do a show with my work and I’m just not sure about the whole deal of art marketing. This drawing is about 12 years old.

    I truly appreciate your encouragement:)
