Those pencils really do give a different look. Really like this...the bird's head in particular is so well done.

Thank you, Lewis and Elisa. The Derwent metallic pencils were half price in Hobbycraft.

You’ve achieved great texture and colour with your pencils Dawn. Extremely effective.

I started painting in Jan 2016 after the death of my youngest sister. I found it great therapy and still do! I love experimenting with different techniques and media. I mainly work in pastel or oils for pet portraits, but I also enjoy doing ink portraits with the odd landscape thrown in for good…
