Dog Portraits Commission Information
Portrait: 'Rosie' with Plain Background.
Size & Medium: 12 x 10 Oils on Gallery Wrap Linen Canvas.
Commissioned from: UK.
This is a wonderful portrait painted by Nick in oils on linen canvas. Annie commissioned a painting of her dog Rosie as a 12 x 10 oil portrait on canvas. I have added some photos I took of Nick painting Rosie's portrait, a final scan and detail of Rosie, the reference photos Nick used when painting and also a lovely email when Annie received the final scan. Below this are a few photos of the portrait framed too. 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,
What a wonderful start to the day receiving your email with the final scan of Rosie's portrait.
Can't find the words to tell you just how thrilled I am with what Nick has done. And yes he has captured her personality and character 150%! It's Rosie to a tee! It was without a doubt the right choice of photograph.
Yes I would like you to frame the portrait please and will leave the decision to you as to the choice of frame. No pressure then!
If at all possible I would like to come and collect the portrait so that Rosie and I can say a "big thank" you in person. If you can let me have your post code so I can check on the Sat Nav how long it will take to get to you.
Thank you once again, it's so exciting and I can't wait to see the portrait.
Best wishes,
Annie

Hi Melanie & Nick,
Parcel arrived in excellent condition thanks to your very good packaging!
I couldn't be more delighted with Rosie's portrait. It is just exquisite and so "life-like". You have captured her character and colouring 100%. I can't thank you enough and I will treasure it for always.
Attached are 4 photos of the portrait hanging on the wall so you can choose which you prefer.
My only disappointment was that Rosie and I were unable to come and collect in person. But the first chance we have we will come and say a "big thank you" in person.
Best regards.
Annie & Rosie
