Soft-Edged Realism: Painting by Claudette Webb
Maximum Supercat, Prismacolor pencil on black paper
Let’s take a look at the portfolio of Claudette Webb, a portrait artist currently based in Huntsville, Alabama. Claudette’s works tend to focus on portraits of pets, family and commission clients, with a soft-edged realism that is both beautiful and impressive.

Claudette uses a variety of mediums in her artistic practice. I’m quite fond of her Prismacolor pencil drawings, in which she depicts pets and faces with a palpable affection. Her pet subjects, especially, are rendered with a certain dignity that makes the animals look quite majestic.

If you’d like to commission a portrait by Claudette, you can contact the artist through her website. The artist generally works from photos, and prefers to take photos herself so that she can get the best possible feel for the nature of her subject – though she is also able to use digital photos sent in by clients.
