Weekend pastel pet portraits

Hello everyone. I spent a very pleasant weekend painting these portraits in pastel.  

This is Sam, a female Labrador/Retriever who we used to look after when the owners went on holiday

These 2 cheeky monkeys are Basil and Peppa, they are our friends' dogs. I have painted this one as a gift for them.

Both paintings were created using a mixture of:

Sennelier soft pastels

Inscribe soft pastels

Derwent pastel pencils

On

Hanhemuhle Velour Pastel paper
