A commissioned pastel portrait of a wire haired Jack Russell, produced on charcoal coloured Sennelier pastel board. Both hard and soft pastels were used to build up the textures in the fur, adding shadowed areas with shades of blue and mauve to create a softer image.

Final highlights were added to the coat and eyes using a soft titanium white handmade pastel.
