Jackie Walker Coloured Pencil Artist welcomes you to JCW Pet Portraits
About Me
My Background
Finding out that I can draw was a huge surprise. I never envisaged that I would be a pet and equine portrait artist.
I have never studied art and had never heard of Coloured Pencils being used as an artist's medium until July of 2019, when my journey began.
Follow me on my evolving journey.
My Medium
I use good quality coloured pencils for my pet portraits/animal drawings.
Faber Castell Polychromos,
Derwent Lightfast, Studio & Drawings,
Caran d'Ache Luminance 6901
and Pablos,
and
Graphite pencils.
My preferred surface is Clairefontane Pastelmat
My world
I am married to Penny and live in Burton on Trent with our two Golden Retrievers Pippa and Cilla. The first animal drawings I produced were of these two scoundrels.
I love nothing more than going away in our touring caravan with friends and of course, the dogs.
Our favourite destinations are Cornwall and North Yorkshire.
Obviously, my pencils come too!
CREATING MY WORK SPACE
Our Garage
This was used as a dumping ground for anything and everything!
Outside My Studio
Our lovely builder, Rob created this beautiful, bright workspace. I'm ridiculously excited to have my very own studio!
Inside my Studio...where it all happens!
I now have a dedicated studio that I can hide away in. The lighting is superb, so I will have the right light whatever the weather! I just hope Penny remembers to bring me a cuppa!
