OT More Art - Page 1

I was wanting to let those of you who were still interested that I am free to do more portraits from the database of your dogs. :) I had so much fun with the last batch, if you can't tell. I've been encouraged to work on a website so I am and you guys have helped build my portfolio quite a bit. So thank you. <3 I appreciate it.

A couple of my favorites that I've worked on in the past month or so.

LukasGS.. MAN! You have a talent, there!

What are you using? Pastels? Pencil? Acrylics? Mixed media?

I especially like how you pick up the highlights and sheen on the darker dogs. That's not so easy to do!

:) Thank you.  I use a mixture of Prisma Colors (colored pencils) and pastels. I actually have a deep dislikeing of working with just pencils. I have a difficult time distiguishing the shadows and highlights without color. Kitty cats are actually pretty new to me. I also like to draw horses though I havn't done many traditional ones lately.

All I need, if you are truely interested is some of your favorite photos of your dog[s] , maybe a little description so I can get a feel for their personality. They are all 30 (If you will offer more it would be GREATLY appreciated) for a headshot on 9 X 12 pastel paper. If you want to contact me my email is KAJBalogh@gmail.com or you can just message me on the db.

lukasgs, have you thought about selling your work on ebay? you could do commissions and dog, cat , etc work too. if you like doing miniature work, check out ACEO (just put it in the search). these are 2.5" x 3.5" and VERY popular. it stands for Art Cards, Editions and Originals.  there is also a category OSWOA (original small works of art) - these are usually 4" x 6". of course, you can do whatever sizes you prefer. i sell in the ACEO, OSWOA (occasionally) and 6" x 6" art. the smaller works are easy to do, and very inexpensive to ship. its fun and a way to  supplement your income and enjoy painting or drawing. you do have a very nice talent - spread it around lol.
