Materials I Used
Greetings, art enthusiasts and fellow dog lovers! I’m Robert Shirt from Bobby’s Portraits, and today, I’m thrilled to share the story behind my latest creation: a stunning Cocker Spaniel portrait, crafted with oil-based colour pencils on A3 pearl grey Stonehenge paper.
One of the most captivating aspects of this Cocker Spaniel portrait is the meticulous detail in the Cocker Spaniel’s hair. Each strand was carefully rendered to capture the breed’s characteristic silky, flowing coat. The oil-based colour pencils allowed for a rich, vibrant palette, bringing out the subtle variations in the fur’s colour and texture. The soft, yet resilient nature of the Stonehenge paper provided the perfect surface to achieve these intricate details, ensuring that every stroke contributed to the lifelike quality of the Cocker Spaniel portrait.
Choosing the right frame is crucial to enhancing the beauty of any artwork, and this Cocker Spaniel portrait is no exception. The frame should complement the portrait without overpowering it, creating a harmonious balance that draws the viewer’s eye to the subject. For this Cocker Spaniel portrait, I recommend a classic wooden frame with a subtle finish that echoes the natural tones of the dog’s fur. The frame should also match the setting where the portrait will be displayed, whether it’s a cozy living room, a sophisticated office, or a charming hallway.
