After a long gap of not doing any artwork due to concentrating on photography, I have dug out my chalk pastels again. I have had an urge to do artwork again for quite some time and after a shaky start, I am slowly developing this portrait of a friend’s dog who is called Tammy. I took some photographs of my work at various stages just as an experiment so that I can see how my own work develops. Also, sometimes, it’s not until you look at a photograph of your work that you realise the glaring mistakes and areas that just “don’t look right”. Anyway, here’s what I’ve done so far with Tammy.
