PYROGRAPHY ON PAPER ART GALLERY
Patrick Loafman uses a woodburner on watercolor paper to burn wildlife images, and the paper does not catch on fire. Patrick uses an adjustable heat woodburner unit (Razertip) with a shading pen and a skew pen to create these realistic portraits.
THE BLUE CAT
"Here is a portrait of my cat, Cedar, a Chartreux who adopted me. His fur in real life is a blue-gray." NUDGING
" I based this on a photo of two wolves playing." DOUGLAS SQUIRREL
"This is a portrait of a Douglas squirrel, a common sight in Washington State where I live." |
OWL AND BUTTERFLY
"Spotted owls typically eat flying squirrels and woodrats but occasionally eat insects, like this one eyeing a butterfly. This combines pyrography and watercolor." TIGER
"Capturing the look of fur requires successive layers of shading." SILHOUETTES
"Inspired by the Chinese sumi-style paintings who use quick brush strokes, I turned my woodburner up high and burned this one with quick strokes." |
