My Pet portraits are hand drawn on smooth surface cartridge paper. The paper is 100% acid free and 100% wood free to ensure long term stability. I use Derwent Coloursoft pencils. They are available in an extensive range of 72 different colours, which are blendable allowing an infinite number of tones to be created.

About Coloured Pencils

Coloured pencils are made from pigment held together with a binder that creates the colour strip in the middle of the pencil. There are many different binders used by different manufacturers, creating different consistencies between pencils, some are chalky and hard, whilst others are very soft and waxy.
