Family Portrait
This is the final scan of the pencil portrait I have been working on. I finished it today and scanned it. It is always hard to scan drawings, the scanner doesn’t show up all the subtle pencil lines. I find the contrast is too high. I did my best though, and it is pretty close…
Family Portrait – work in progress
This is the newest portrait I have been working on. It was commissioned as a birthday present for the client’s husband. The picture is of his father. The drawing is 25 x 25 cm in size and I am now working on the shading. I will post the final scan in a couple of days.
Dog Portrait Painting
I have completed this portrait a few weeks ago. I posted the progress pictures and here is the final scan of the finished portrait. It is of Sassy. The portrait is 30 x 40 cm in size and the client had commissioned it as a birthday present for her mother-in-law. She was very happy with…
Two Beagles
This is a portrait of two beagles I worked on a couple of weeks ago. It was a wedding present for their owners. A few of their friends have commissioned this to go with their wedding gift. The reference photo was taken indoors, so it was quite dark. The clients wanted a landscape background, so…
Streetscape painting
I have just finished on a somewhat unusual commission for me – a streetscape. The painting is 35 x 45 cm in size and it is painted with acrylics on stretched canvas. It took a while for me to paint this one due to the amount of elements in the photo. There was a lot…
Dog Portrait – work in progress
I have started working on another painting this week – Sassy. The portrait is 12 x 16 inches in size and I have worked up the initial sketch and added some basic colouring. I am starting on detailing tomorrow and the portrait should be finished soon. I hope you like it so far.
Family Portrait
I have just finished working on another portrait. It is a family portrait of a cocker spaniel called Charlie and her owners. Charlie has sadly passed away and her owners wanted a portrait of her and themselves as a keepsake. To put Charlie into focus, we have decided to draw her portrait with tinted pencils…
Two German Shepherds
I have finished working on this portrait last week and scanned it just yesterday. I think it worked out very well. It has been a couple of weeks in the making and I took my time purposely. I don’t like to rush paintings, especially when they are larger in size. This portrait is 12 x…
Two German Shepherds – work in progress
I have a brand new painting on my easel! A very exciting one too 🙂 This portrait features two absolutely beautiful German Shepherds. Sadly, they have both passed away. This painting is going to be a present for their owner. I can’t reveal too much detail about this commission in case the surprise is ruined,…
