A cunning approach to pastels for nature lovers.
. I was inspired by the rich colours, and the way it captures a moment when the fox looks alert, and I want to get that feeling into my painting. I also love the variety of textures in the fur, and the cunning gleam in the eye. I decided to focus on the head so I could really enjoy the textural qualities of the fur.
In places I soften the soft pastel under-layers so these new, sharper marks really show. I use this technique quite often in this piece, always paying very careful attention to the direction of the hairs.As the fox is a warm and vibrant red/brown, I use muted blues for the background. I want the background to make the colours of the fox jump forward, so I use a contrasting colour, and make the background darker against the light areas of the fox’s head.
one, which is harder, with which to base in the lighter areas of the fox’s coat. The Polychromos pastel is good for a sketchy base, but I soften the Unison cream in to get a lovely soft surface to work over with pastel pencil later. I also put these lighter tones into the ears.Now I have based in most of the fox, I want to soften, sculpt and refine
