        Hi all, I just completed this commission of a stunningly handsome shiloh shepherd named Hercules. I loved drawing all that fur, they are know for their thick plush coats. I switched gears and decided to do it on suede mat board and boy am I glad I did. It went really well with this furry breed and his coloring. 11×14 on tan suede mat board done with prismacolor pencils and a bit of Brush and Pencils titanium white/touchup texture mixture.

        Oh my gosh this is so so beautiful! First time I heard of painting on suede – cool! Are there any tutorials on how to paint on it? I wonder how the paint would stick.

                            Hi all, thanks for taking the time to look and comment, I really appreciate it.

                            Thank you, Christel, Vivien, Chammi, Penny, Yvonne, Gibby, Ginny, Robert, Sharryn.

                            Yvonne, this is done with prismacolor pencils and the suede accepts it very well, darker colors work better than light colors and it seems to take lots of layers as they seem to fade and you have to add more layers. This is my 3rd drawing on the suede but I want to try more.
