'Pets in Pastel'

with Denise Clark

Welcome to Pets in Pastel! I'm Denise, an artist and homeopath. I know and understand the importance of creativity. Drawing is a great way to relax, focus, and find joy. I created my online profile to share the calming and fun experience of pastel pet portraits with you.

My videos offer a unique blend of real-time art and ASMR - the calming soothing effect on our nervous system that provides a meditative effect, perfect for helping you relax, whether you’re drawing along, watching, or listening.

I'm new to making videos! I've recorded in realtime and aim to show you every step to drawing a pet portrait.

Take what you can from my work, feel inspired to draw and enjoy the process.

Thank you to everyone who has liked, subscribed, and watched my videos, it means so much to me. After 15 years of learning art techniques on YouTube, it’s a joy to give something back. Let’s create together!

Jeanette Allen - for the portraits of 'Dave Allen', 'Jaylee', 'Mr. Bumble' and 'Bobby'

"I have known Denise for many years as a homeopath and friend. Her hidden talent for life drawing came as a very pleasant surprise to us both I believe. Denise made a pastel drawing of my aged parents which is so lifelike and captured their relationship so perfectly. The drawing is especially treasured by me, as my parents are now deceased. I am commissioning Denise to make a pastel drawing of my four grandchildren soon."

Julie Hibbert - for her parents portrait.

"Denise has been a dear friend for over 50 years. In more recent years she has proved to be an extremely talented artist. She has done beautiful drawings of my four grandchildren and I’m sure she will prove herself to be a brilliant, inspiring teacher."

Ann Varrall - for her grandchildren's portrait.

"We were delighted with Denise’s picture of our cat Mr Tabby - not just a true likeness, but catching that extra spark of personality. Such a great memory of a real character. Thank you Denise!! "

A and B - for 'Mr Tabby'

"We have known Denise for many years; she has a friendly and easy manner and is an extremely talented artist. She possesses a remarkable eye for detail which enables her to bring out the finest features, as well as an extraordinary ability to capture her subject’s character. This is evident in portraits she has done of our horses where the likeness is amazing. We would recommend Denise’s classes to anyone whatever their level of experience."

Heather and Jon Homan - for 'Shesha Bear' and 'Pasaka Boy'

"Denise and I have been good friends for many years and she has always been good at art and anything artistic. Denise always shows me her latest drawings and paintings. They are impressive and I always keep them and am proud to show them to other artistic friends. My grandsons are growing fast, they are age 3 and 6 here, and Denise has captured their characters in these lovely portraits to perfection. They take pride of place in our home. Yes I would recommend Denise, both for her artistic abilities and also her good humour and teaching qualities."

Carol Bullock - for her Grandchildren's portraits.

"I have known Denise Clark for many, many years, but we recently reconnected when I contacted her to do a portrait of my son’s dog.

Denise’s talent is exceptional and her empathy and kindness to animals shines through in her portraits. The picture here is of me on my wedding day, many years ago, but it shows Denise’s artistry is unlimited as she styled my hair for the wedding day, she is also an exceptional hairdresser."

Sue King - for 'Luna'

"I have commissioned two paintings from Denise for presents to my family of their beloved dogs. We are all delighted with them showing such detail that seems to capture their friendly nature.

David Pryce - for 'Nero' and 'Poppy'

"We really wanted a portrait done of our 2 dogs, Molly and Maisie. We didn’t need to look any further than Denise Clark. Denise’s work had previously impressed us with it’s in depth, precise detail and pictures that seemed to come to life on the canvas. Our expectations of our portrait were surpassed by how Denise captured every fold of fur, wetness of the nose and the sparkle in the eye.We were delighted. We would highly recommend Denise, she really is in a class of her own."

Denise Sunderland - for 'Molly' and 'Maisie'

"Denise created a stunning portrait of our beloved Persian cat. She took the time to get to know her personally, photographing her as well as trying to observe her characteristic traits. Denise captured her essence most beautifully in her painting to the point that she almost looks alive. Thank you, Denise, for an outstanding piece of art!"
