Welcome!

I'm Sharan, a colored pencil artist specializing in realistic pet and animal portraits. 

My goal is to create high-quality portraits that are visually stunning, highly detailed, and realistic art pieces with the use of professional colored pencils on professional quality paper.

If you would like a life-like portrait of your beloved pet to cherish for years to come, I'd love to work with you. 

About My Work

I use the best quality art materials available to me so my work will last through generations.  

I prefer a mixed selection of colored pencils for a good palette of colors. I mainly use Faber Castell Polychromos, Caran d'Ache Luminance/Pablos/Museum Aquarelle, and Derwent Lightfast pencils. These pencils are museum-grade archival with the highest degrees of lightfastness.

I have experimented with different papers and prefer to work on Strathmore Bristol, Clairefontaine Pastelmat, and Grafix Drafting Film which are all museum-grade archival. I occasionally use other papers which are always acid-free and archival as well.
