Perfect Pears!
Your portraits are amazing. I have not seen your work before. Just spectacular.
Do you like working on the colorfix paper?

Thanks Leslie! I do like colourfix a lot – though I’m still on the fence about using it over Pastelbord. I like that little extra grit it has.
I’m thinking about just getting some of the primer that they coat the paper with and putting it on wood/panel/my coffee table and seeing how that goes.

This is wonderful Steve. I love the realism of your work. You and Colourfix will need to work out a little contract I think…

Really excellent work, the colours are great, there’s a real shine to the piece. Brilliant detail work too.

So realistic! Golden pears on a silver background. Interesting and so unusual.

I really like your version. Lots of nice highlights and the color is great.

I must admit to being blown away by this drawing
and also am amzed that it has been drawn on colorfix,
I only thought that this surface was for pastel pencils.
Thanks for the inspiration to try a new paper !!
