Dog Portraits Commission Information

Commissioned from: USA.
This is Mario and he was painted on cotton canvas to the size of 20 x 16 in 2009 for Dominic USA. it was to be a lovely memorial painting of Mario and we used the photo they felt captured Mario the best and how they all remembered Mario to be. I have added some lovely emails for you to have a read of, along with feedback when Dom received the painting and photos of the portrait framed. I hope you enjoy this page of information and if you would like to commission us to paint your pet don't hesitate to email us at any time.
The Dog Portrait in Progress
We try to make sure we take a number of photos of the portrait during the day and display them on our portraits in progress blog for our clients to see. We have daylight easel lamps which allow us to see the painting in pure natural light, and sometimes this lighting effect the photos that we take. This can account for colour differences between each stage and the final scan below.
The Oil Painting with Detail
We scan the majority of our artwork here in the studio, we have an epson scanner, or for the very large paintings we take photographs of the artwork using a Sony DSLR camera, a tripod and two diffused photography lights. Our scans and photographs are always perfect quality if clients require giclee prints of their hand painted portrait for friends or family.
Client Dog Portraits Reference Photos
Our clients email a range of photographs for us to work with, we use one for the main pose of the portrait and others for detail, backgrounds etc The photographs depicted below may vary in colour to the finished painting above. This can be due to the scanned oil painting being slightly different to the original or often clients give us more than one photo to work from i.e. one for the pose and another for colouring.
Client Comments and Feedback
We are always thrilled to read our clients emails, we are in touch with clients via email and sometimes via telephone, skype and texts throughout the entire process. Clients also leave us messages on our portraits in progress blog when they are watching their portrait in progress and also comment on our facebook page too. We try to add snippets of their emails here for you to read, plus you can see more photos of happy clients with the portraits in our client feedback section and on our main pet portraits website feedback section too.

Hi Melanie, Everything arrived safely. Thank you. I am sorry it took so long to let you know, but honestly, its been much more difficult than I expected to have the portrait. Its been raking up all the feelings of loss and sadness. I suppose that means its very good work. I'm waiting for the frame
Thanks again

Hi Melanie, Attached is the portrait framed. It looks amazing. I can almost hear him bark.
Thank you Dom
