A time lapse film of my painting 'Caution to the Wind', of a palomino stallion. I made it using Caran d'Ache pastel cubes and pastel pencils on Clairefontaine Pastelmat paper. the painting is about 12x16". I hope you enjoy watching... To answer the FAQs that I usually get: This painting took about 12 hours work in total. I took my own photos of the horse to use as references. I don't use water or any fluids. The background and some of the underpainting is done using hard pastel sticks - Caran d'Ache 'Cubes'. The rest of the work is done with their pastel pencils. The stick you can see some of the time is a Mahl stick, as used by signwriters. It's just to lean my hand on without smudging the work. I do sell my work and take portrait commissions in the UK (it's my living, so please don't ask for freebies!), I also offer tuition - more about all that on my website linked in my profile for anyone interested. I make these videos from time to time because people seem to enjoy watching the process. Hope you do too... happy viewing!
