It's a self-portrait

I'm not sure if the screen resolution picks up the shimmer in his fur, but i used a bit of coppery shimmer in the paint. It's done in acrylic, which i'm fast becoming a fan of, not least because it dries quickly, but because they do some fab shimmery colours in it. Anyway, this one is going in an exhibit, although i've already been asked to sell it with no copies being made. So i'm going to see if the print room at work can do prints and then i'm going to do some maths to see if i can earn more off the prints or more off a one off painting, and if the latter give the guy a price and see what he says. to be honest though, i'm really attached to it, so the print option might be the way i want to go anyway, and keep the original myself.

[QUOTE 3312380, member: 9609"]I think that is brilliant - is it done in pastels ?[/QUOTE]
No, it's done in acrylic. i used pink (red, white and burnt umber mix), burnt umber, raw umber, white and black and copper shimmer.
