DOG PORTRAITS

Commission a Dog Portrait - by Melanie & Nicholas

Welcome to Dog Portraits by Melanie & Nick

My name is Melanie and along with my husband Nick Beall we are professional dog portrait artists. We work full time, creating custom paintings for clients all over the world, painting and drawing in our little rural cottage in the heart of Wales UK, along with our rescue dog called Tom, and rescue chickens.

Professionally Trained Dog Artists
We are professionally trained dog portrait artists, we studied Natural History Illustration where we drew and painted all animals and wildlife, which taught us how to draw correctly. This is the key to any animal portraiture, understanding the anatomy, the movement of the dog, the muscle structure and more. This is why our dog paintings look so life like and realistic, yet still retain an artistic and painterly quality. We have been accepting custom painting commissions for over 16 years and simply love our job!

Hello Melanie,
Oh my gosh, I had promised you a photo of Samantha’s amazing portrait, framed and hung, so many months ago!Needless to say, the painting has remained a much loved and admired image of mom’s beloved pet. She has had friends over to her apartment just to see your stunning work. This is not the best photo, but you can see how beautiful the painting looks...and mom is so proud of it. More importantly, the painting is so life-like, that it also gives her comfort to be able to see Samantha as she remembers her. Thank you for all of the emails and of course for your incredible artwork. Wishing you all the best... Kim Hinkle

Hand Painted and Drawn

All of our portraits are hand painted and drawn and singed by ourselves. This is why we have a fairly long waiting list, it is a very time consuming craft working at our easels often 6 hours per day painting and drawing.
