| Self Portrait in Pastel by Dave Ettridge |
It takes great pleasure for me to write this post. It is a post to promote the work of a great and establised artist, Dave Ettridge.
Dave Ettridge has been an artist all his life and has been gifted with a natural ability to turn his hands to many creative uses. Which ever art or craft he applies himself to, the results are always amazing. Over the past few years he has channelled his talents on his fine art drawings, mainly through the medium of pastel or graphite pencils, although he is equally talented with oils and watercolour paints.
Below is a small sample of his work. If you would like to view more of his drawings, either click on one of the pictures or one of the links on this post.
