How did you meet theCoton de Tuléar ?

The first time I met the Coton de Tuléar was when my aunt, Christine Casey (USA) arrived in France with her four adorable little Coton puppies. Since, she sometimes, she always has four Cotons.


Do you own a Coton de Tuléar ?

I haven't this luck because I'm living in an apartment and they musn't be stay enclosed all the day.


Drawing Coton portraits What is the difficulty?

I think that drawing animal portraits the main difficulty is to find a picture which can inspire you. Regarding the Cotons you must faithfully transcribe the expression to be sure that his owner can recognize his dog and not another one. In fact the face expression is very important.

Are you only drawing Cotons?

True that we are drawing all dogs and other animals but I prefer Cotons because I think they are so affectionate and they are given off dégage a seductive power. More they are majestic dogs and in the same time very touching.

On which size do you prefer drawing?

The ideal thing for us is to draw big portraits because we can give a maximum of details to portraits keeping the Coton expression.
