Dog Portraits Commission Information
Portrait: 'Roly' with Small Background.
Size & Medium: 16 x 12 Oils on Gallery Wrap Linen Canvas.
Commissioned from: UK.
Roly the Jack Russell was commissioned by John from the UK in 2008 for his family. They were all delighted with the portrait as you can read from the testimonial below. The portrait was painted on cotton canvas at 16 x 12, which was the perfect size for little Roly. I have added some stages from the portraits progress along with a final scan and a detail of the painting. I have also added some of the reference photos John emailed in his first correspondence with me. 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
Thankyou so much. We all love it! Roly looks great and I see no reason why we would want to change it at all. After we have received it I will be in contact again as we have 2 other dogs, and am sure we will want portraits of them as well.
Look forward to talking again soon John |
