Tamsin-Dearing-Title-Pencil
A highly detailed coloured pencil drawing of a young Afghan girl wearing a red patterned dress. Over this she has an embroidered waistcoat in greens and blues with gold thread and brass buttons. She is wearing a necklace woven with many tiny beads in an inverted triangle shape, and a string of uneven read beads also. She has a white headscarf which hangs to her waist, it is embroidered with a flower design. All of the fabric looks worn and dirty. She is holding her hands clasped in front of her, she has chipped pink nail varnish, and is looking straight at the viewer with a serious expression. Realistic fine art coloured pencil child portrait by Tamsin Dearing the artist in Cornwall.

Commission in Progress

On my drawing board currently is the most technically challenging drawing I have undertaken, a commissioned A3 size coloured pencil portrait. This is just a sneak peek as the big reveal will come once the client has received the artwork. I am using Polychromos pencils by Faber Castell, along with a single white Polychromos for it’s extra creamy properties, and drawing on Stonehenge paper.
