Drawing Media

The lucky winner will have three different drawing media to choose from:

Shergar with Walter SwinburnPencil Drawings - these are produced in graphite pencil usually on ingres paper which has a soft lined texture. The result is a picture which can convey a wide range of texture from the soft and fluffy (ideal for the coats of cats and dogs for example) to the sharp and clear - essential for showing detail on the face, particularly eyes and nose. It is a medium that is suitable for images of any animal on the blank background of the paper.

 

Conte drawingConté Drawings - much of the above also applies to the conté drawings except that they add the element of colour, albeit natural 'earth' colours only i.e. sepia, chocolate, black, white and ochre. These can be extremely effective but the conté is a softer medium than pencil to work in and therefore it is not possible to achieve extremely fine, sharp detail. However, it is often an ideal media to choose for animal portraits and Sue has used it to good effect for drawings of racehorses in action.

 

 

pastel drawingPastel - This is drawn using soft crayons so it still produces a softer image. However, it enables the use of full colour.
