Rosabelle Animal & Wildlife Art

A B O U T T H E A R T

I create softly detailed drawings of animals and wildlife
inspired by my love for animals since childhood.
I like to recreate the gentle and sentient elements of the subject and their beauty
whilst representing a realistic and truthful impression of the animal, as behind the softly drawn style
I use and despite some of the subject’s incredible power, are themes relating to their startling vulnerability
and challenges, their futures uncertain where many may no longer exist
in as few as 10 years’ time.

My ongoing goal is to help raise awareness and funding through my drawings to help wildlife and the wider environments.
Through contributions to the causes and organisations working hard to protect animals I have so far
helped the following:-
- Born Free Foundation - Wildlife SOS - Explorers Against Extinction - Africa Wildlife Art -

In choosing my subject and references I select images which evoke a connection that I hope to replicate for others
whilst considering what I may be able to bring to the photographer’s original capture.
This has resulted in building a portfolio of animal portraits
which I hope convey poignant and sincere artworks.

Drawings are created using professional artist’s-grade pastel pencils on
acid-free archival pastelmat. I taught myself to use pastels through trial and error and fell in love with their
qualities as a drawing medium.
These pastels contain pure pigment to a slightly less ratio of binder with a high permanence value
so will not fade or lose their colourfast value over time.

Thank you for your interest in my work
