Pastel artwork called ‘The Road to Mounjaro’ depicting an elephant walking down the middle of a busy road in the city lit up with neon lights reflecting on the elephant and the road she walks on. The picture is about the artists own struggles with weight loss.

I haven’t tried any of those yet.
I do tend to lean towards pastel pencils, Carandache are currently my favourite 👍

I painted a postcard for the SAA Paint & Create magazine and they published it. I’m chuffed!
This is what it feels like to be famous 😂😳😂

Inquisitive paws ruin pastel drawings so I have to cover my art when I leave the room or risk getting some paw shaped smudges.

As a result of this post yesterday, I actually lost one follower and gained just one. You gotta laugh or you’d cry. 😞🤷‍♂️

It’s my anxiety, somebody’s watching me.

I love the art class I go to. My teacher really knows how to get me doing stuff out of my normal comfort zone. I’d requested we might do a study of a human eye (see photo).
This is the work in progress.
I hate freehand drawing but she made me do it anyway telling me I’m capable. #pastels #art #eyes
