using Winsor & Newton’s latest Griffin Alkyd Quick Drying Oil Colour that is resistant to yellowing and cracking with age.
Custom drawings from photos
Drawing pencil portraits from photos using black art Conte pencil on textured paper will result in a detailed finish with a textured appearance.
Pastel hand drawn portraits from photos UK
Pastel portraits from photos have a velvet finish and are excellent for getting good blending for shadows and highlights on skin , hair and fur etc.
Great attention is paid to getting a good realistic likeness to the photo and bringing out the personality and character of the subject.
