Two shelties - Belle and Meja, painted in pastel on Sennelier card in year 2011. I use the cards for all my sketches in pastel because it's so easy to apply colors fast and simple with not too much effort. As the pastel sketches are so affordable I must create the portraits fast and the Sennelier pastel card makes it easier to achieve. The surface also enables the color to stay on, which is very hard to achieve on other papers. The client has also commissioned another artwork, you can view the shetland sheepdogs here »


Woow! Thank you dear Katja for the wonderful picture you have created of our small precious shelties. The painting has so beautiful colors and I always get speechless when I look at your lovely creations.
Many big hugs from Pär and Kate
