This drawing is a typical Scottish summer agricultural show view. A young pup seeking solace behind the safety of the indispensable wellington boot.
Spent quite a while trying to get his light coat to scan well...unfortunately I was not terribly successful.
The result is nevertheless presentable and it is with great pleasure that I would like to show you "Puppies & Wellies".

The added beauty of this piece is that it is drawn using Derwent pencils which are ...vegan pencils!
Vegan pencils….my amazing discovery last year...
Thanks to Empty Easels' post I discovered that Derwent does not use beeswax in any of their products. I quote:
Their charcoal pencils are made from pure charcoal, clay and pigment, the wax used in their pencils is from a plant source, and the binding material is from a mineral source.
Derwent’s Coloursoft pencils, Graphitint pencils, Aquatone pencils, metallic pencils, graphitone and even Derwent’s Pastel Blocks are free from animal ingredients.
(I have contacted Derwent asking them for more information which they confirmed. Super to be able to double check this grand news.)
I am not a vegan (or vegetarian) but somehow it feels good and snuggles in nicely with what I feel is right...
This drawing is available as a mounted and framed original or can be bought as a reproduction from my Etsy store.
