"Katie and Java" Colored Pencil by Charlotte Yealey


10x12
Colored Pencil
In my effort to create art that shows the love we have for our pets, I drew this from a photo that Katie posted on Facebook. She is a friend and with her permission, I created this portrait of her and her Ibizan hound with a few changes from the original photo. I am not sure I have all the values I want in this. It could be I lost some during the scan so that means I have to make areas darker.

So sweet, Charlotte. Good luck too in getting accepted by the colored pencil society you are aiming for.
