Art inspired by biology, created by a biologist
This is “Dexter.” He lives at the National Aviary (go see him!). It’s my latest pastel pencil drawing. This is on 9.5″ x 12″ PastelMat and drawn with PanPastel and Gioconda Pastel Pencils. I’m pretty stoked with how it turned out!
Original is SOLD.
Finally getting a decent hang of combining PanPastels and Gioconda pastel pencils on PastelMat (oh and a decent amount of black and white charcoal for highlighting in this piece). I love this stuff.
My fiance Tamaryn’s eye. Aint it purty?!
This is a pastel pencil drawing featuring a swallowtail butterfly scene I captured in a field in central North Carolina near Pilot Mountain.
It’s my second major attempt at PanPastels and Gioconda pastel pencils on PastelMat.
This is “Killer,” a green-winged macaw that resides at the National Aviary. This is my first proper attempt at using PanPastels on PastelMat. I’m fairly happy with how it turned out. It’s based on a photo I took at the National Aviary. You can buy prints of this piece HERE.
The original drawing was SOLD (donated to the National Aviary for the Wings and Wildlife Artshow and Benefit Auction).
