Pastel pencils are the perfect medium for creating realistic

portraits of animals, says artist Colin Bradley.

Animals in pastel pencil

U

nlike hard and soft
pastel sticks, pastel
pencils are a lot easier
to use from the start,
asserts Colin Bradley. “Because
they are in pencil form, they feel
familiar as we remember using
colouring pencils as a child! The
difference, however, is in the
medium. You get all the benefits
of using pastel, but the control
of using a pencil. This allows you
to create stunning pictures with
incredible details.“

Colin Bradley became a professional artist in 1982 and opened his

gallery in Broadstairs the same year. When he was asked to paint a

friend‘s dog he found pastel pencils were ideal for producing the

realism he sought. Colin is now considered the leading exponent

of the pastel pencil medium. He has nearly 2 million views on

YouTube and continues to teach online via his website.

Use a 160gsm paper

in a neutral colour

with a raised ‘tooth‘

so the pastel grips

the paper.
