Fisherman and Pike catch in Coloured pencils

GARY
11" X 17"

Gary contacted me wishing to commission a pencil portrait of a Pike he had caught whilst on a fishing trip. An 11" x 17" portrait size was chosen as this allowed plenty of opportunity for lots of fine detail which would offer far more impact, a shadow background was also chosen so as not to overpower the main subject.
For those interested, the pike weighed in at 35lbs and 6oz!!

CUSTOMER TESTIMONIAL:

" Morning Karen, the picture arrived safe & sound (extremely well packed) and you were right, if I thought it was good in the pics, it was simply stunning in the flesh! I took it to the framers on Saturday and he was also very impressed (your artist skills, not my fish lol) and now can’t wait to see it framed and hanging on the wall. Thank you so much again,
Kind Regards, Gary "
