Sylvia your snowdrops are beautiful. I love using black paper with pastel pencils it really makes the subject pop! I have also used black canvas and acrylics for pet portraits for the same effect. Thanks for your comment Paul

Hi Gillian these are coloured pencils not pastel. I didn’t think they woukd work.  I have never use tinted charcoal your sketches have worked well.  I might try them on black paper as well.

Love Shetland ponies love all horses .  These are a delight Paul.     Was sitting in a field sketching a year or so ago my friend had a couple of horses in the field.   Boots the big brown one decided he didn’t like my sketch so he put a big hoof on my book and chomped it.
