Painting A Day Demonstration - Hen and Chick by Roberta "Roby" Baer PSA

I grew up on a small ranch so I'm very comfortable with the dynamics of a barnyard. I'm relishing going back to my roots with the painting of these characters. I especially enjoyed depicting those cute little orange toes sticking from the shadow of it's protective mother's wing. Prints of this painting are currently for sale in my ebay store: http://stores.ebay.com/Roby-Baers-Fine-Art-And-Prints

Awsome talent! Was that a blender tool u used? Or just a white pencil? Enjoyed watching.

@cyngood99 Hello! Thanks for the nice comment! No blender tools other than my fingers. When I'm using strictly the pencils I lay down the color and then use the next color to blend the previous layer. Once I've done this I don't go back and smudge with my finger at all because it will lift off the pencil layers. :) Roby

Hey this is so cute and a amazing drawing, one quick question, what type of pencils do you use??

[robertarobybaer]

@Hadles09 Thank you so much! I use CarbOthello pastel pencils. They work great in combination with the stick soft pastels. Thanks again...:))
