Join wildlife expert Vic Bearcroft & learn how to create a striking puppy & kitten portrait in pastel with this easy-to-follow DVD guide. Vic will take you through the five creative steps required, from sketching out to tonal layers, through to blocking out, details & finishing with highlights, which draw the piece together. Vic advises which part of the pastel to use to create texture & interest, as well as emphasising the need to keep working the pastel into the velour paper to maintain a soft, fur-like effect. All of the techniques Vic uses can be applied to any animal portrait, so you'll see your skills improve the more you use them across various different projects & paintings. Author: Vic Bearcroft
