Pitter, Patter, this is the first time I've completed an entire drawing using pastels, usually I would switch back to pencils for the details. This Great Tit enjoys visiting my garden and regularly beats the squirrel to the peanuts, on this day his glance upwards at the drizzly sky spoke volumes to me. A video of the entire process is available on my YouTube Channel

Autumn is my favourite time of year, the rich, warm colours and crisp clear mornings cheer me more than the heat of summer. I have drawn pine cones in the past, much less detailed and wanted to make the pine cone an important part of this drawing and not just a prop for the cute mouse. Whilst drawing the pine cone was an enjoyable, although timeconsuming process, the search for a title was a struggle, I eventually settled on a rather long one as the shorter more punchy titles weren't seeming to strike the right chord. This drawing was done using only Faber Castell Polychromos pencils, no blending solutions or powders were used. The paper is Strathmore Bristol Vellum. Finished size is 8"x10". All photo references used were my own. This is the final Bake Off Collection. Several were given away in my Facebook Page prize draw, and some have been sold, in fact I've already had news that one has safely arrived this morning. A video on my YouTube Channel shows the drawing of the Black Forest Gateau from start to finish, complete with notes on colours used. At the moment 1, 2, 3 & 4 are still for sale, they will be at a reduced price of £10 including uk postage until 31st October when they will then be put on here at the normal price for my miniatures of £20. If you would like to purchase one please contact me via the contact page or on my facebook page Miniature commissions are priced at £20+ p&p please contact me for details.
