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…
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…
Prince the Golden Labrador
I have finished working on Prince’s portrait yesterday. It was sitting on my ‘done’ shelf for a day. I wanted to make sure Prince was captured as he deserved to be. I scanned it today and adjusted the scan on the computer to match the painting. Some of the fine detail got a little lost…
Chihuahua Portrait Painting
I have finished working on Marley’s portrait yesterday, but decided to keep it on the shelf for a day to make sure it was working. I scanned it now and I think it worked out quite well. The darkness of the blanket really plays off the white in Marley’s fur. He is so cute looking…
Three Black Labradors – Pencil Portrait
I have finished this portrait earlier in the week. I was so busy in the studio with all my commissions, that I didn’t scan it straight away. Here it is though, I think it is looking quite well. I hope the client will like it. I just love labradors (well, of course, I have one…
Final Scan of Brodie and Bruar’s Portrait
Brodie and Bruar are two gorgeous black labradors whose portrait I have been working on for the past week or so. They are just so lovely and the reference photo was a little different. Looking down at the two dogs, with some stones at their paws, I think the composition works really well. This portrait…
Two German Shepherds
I have finished working on the portrait of Bella and Audrik, the two german shepherds, I have been working on for the last week or so. It worked out quite well at the end. It took a little longer than anticipated, because I made a few changes on the way. The size really works well…
Dachshund Portrait
This is my latest portrait of two lovely dachshunds. It was commissioned by a returning client from Ireland as a gift for her friend’s birthday. It is a small 6 x 8 inch drawing in graphite pencils. The small size makes the portrait really unique I think. I am now working on three family portraits…
