Elisa Orchard is currently working through our Pet Portrait Diploma Course tutored by gale Mason. Elisa has sent us her pastel portrait of a horse for us to add on the blog. We are delighted to add it here for our students to view.

I really want to be able to use pastel as I love the intensity of the colours but I do find it tricky. In the horse picture I used pastel for the overall horse’s head then fixed it with spray. I then added the reins after with white pastel predominantly and really sharp pencil to add detail. I tried to concentrate on the reins. I think I am becoming more disciplined with making the image more precise to reflect the original.
We are really looking forward to seeing Elisa’s next set of work and posting it for every one see!
