A time lapse film of my painting of Cara, a beautiful black mare. I made it using pastels and pastel pencils on sanded paper (Fisher 400). This was a commission for Cara’s owner, and the painting is about 16×12″. I hope you enjoy watching. To answer the FAQs that I usually get: This painting took about 10 hours work. I took my own photos of Cara to use as references. I don’t use water or any fluids. The background is in soft pastel sticks, the ‘brush’ looking thing I use on it at the start is a silicon ‘colour shaper’ tool: it blends the colours. The horse is underpainted with hard pastel sticks and then worked up with pastel pencils. Mostly I use Faber Castell & Schwann CarbOthello. I used to use Derwent, but have had quality issues so I’ve stopped using them and cannot recommend them. The stick you can see some of the time is a Mahl stick, as used by signwriters. It’s just to lean my hand on without smudging the work. I do sell my work and take portrait commissions in the UK (it’s my living, so please don’t ask for freebies!), more about that on my website for anyone interested. I don’t do any teaching or tuition, I just make these videos from time to time because people seem to enjoy watching the process. Hope you do too… happy viewing!

My name is Meghan Dixon and i have Autism! As you can see i am an 18 year old girl who is trying to stop horse slaughter forever. All i want more then anything in the world is for horse slaughter to stop and to save americas horses. Horses saved my life. I used to get upset and bullied and rejected by lots of people both in school and out in the community because I was different so I became Suicid al. Horses saved my from suicide. I been through alot of abuse through my life from bullying. Before I discovered horses, I was suicidal, hysterical, upset and depressed by the bullying and the hate I had to endure in my life, particularly that aimed at me for having the (so called) disability of Autism. Horses help me turn my autism into a gift. When i look into the eyes of a horse i can see the healing hands of god. So please help me stop horse slaughter. It hurts me everyday to know that horses are being slaughtered.

A time lapse film of my painting of Billy, a stunning chestnut horse. I made it using pastel pencils on sanded paper (Fisher 400). This was a commission for Billy’s owners, and the painting is about 14×10″. I hope you enjoy watching. To answer the FAQs that I usually get: I don’t use water or any fluids. The background is in soft pastel sticks, the ‘brush’ looking thing I use on it at the start is a silicon ‘colour shaper’ tool: it blends the colours. The horse is done entirely with pastel pencils. Mostly I use Faber Castell & Schwann CarbOthello. I used to use Derwent, but have had quality issues so I’ve stopped using them and cannot recommend them. The stick you can see some of the time is a Mahl stick, as used by signwriters. It’s just to lean my hand on without smudging the work.
