Our pets are so precious to us and we often consider them more like a member of our family. A portrait is a lovely way of capturing the spirit of you pet to treasure for years to come. You may want to treat a family member or close friend to a special gift, to celebrate a birthday or anniversary, a pet portrait is perfect for this.
I create portraits using photos as reference. I draw in artist quality colour pencils which allow me to combine rich colours with fine detail. Each portrait takes many days, sometimes even weeks to complete. Small or large each portrait is given the same attention to detail, ensuring an individual portrait that you will love.
I work on a surface called Pastelmat, which is stiffer than normal paper and comes in quite a range of colours. I usually work on a very light grey, but can advise and discuss the colour with you.
I do not usually frame the portrait, the main reason for this is the extra cost of postage and the very likely chance of the glass breaking in transit. If you are able to collect your portrait, I can arrange for it to be framed for you, please contact me to discuss framing and cost. I am based in south Warwickshire, England.
I can combine two or more subjects from different photographs in one portrait. I am always happy to discuss your portrait needs.
