  1. First time using oil pastels since school. 🎨
    Not my favourite medium, but they suit the reference really well.

    Reference: Jennie Blyth by Samuel Peploe (1902)

  2. Finally finished this one from a few weeks ago.

    Learned a lot along the way... trial and error definitely included quite a few errors 😅

  3. Joined the #PortraitChallenge because the Lily Elsie reference was just too lovely. I wasn't aware of the format, so I probably exceeded all time limits :/

    Work in progress, still figuring out pastels 🎨🖌️

  4. “Echo Souls I – Connected in Spirit”

    A portrait about quiet presence, trust, and the deep bond between human and sighthound — inspired by the gentle dignity of the Spanish Galgo.

    Created in layered mixed media with acrylic underpainting and soft pastel details to build a luminous, atmospheric surface.

    Part of my ongoing Echo Souls series.
