Dog Portraits Commission Information
Julia and her family contacted me in october 2011 to ask if i would be able to draw their very much loved family dog called Jackson. They had one single photos that they all really liked and so that just had to be the one i used as the basis of the portrait. Sadly Jackson passed away days before the family received the portrait so I am hoping that it will serve as a wonderful reminder to them all for many years to come. 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 Pencil Drawing with Detail
We scan the majority of our artwork here in the studio, we have an epson scanner, or for the very large drawings 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.
