Pet Portraits Portfolio

 
 

Pet portraits make a wonderful original gift to a friend, family member or even yourself! Although dogs, horses and cats are among my most popular requests I would be delighted to accept commissions of any animal companion. Please don’t hesitate to contact me for further information via the contact section.

On this page you will find the links to my pet portrait galleries showing my work in pastels and the other mediums I use. Below you can also view a current work in progress. Please take the time to have a look and view my work. I am currently producing most of my work in pastels due to demand as they deliver the detail and vibrancy of colour that my clients want. All the images below are in pastels. I am adding new pet portraits on a regular basis so come and visit again soon

Work in Progress

Here I will be showing the progress of one of the current pet portraits on my easel. I am always happy to answer questions about my techniques and the mediums I use to create my pet portraits. If you have any questions please contact me.

In between my pet portraits I always like to have a personal painting that I am working on. These will all be available for purchase when completed, and possibly limited edition prints released.

This current piece is of an Arabian mare called Divine. She is beautiful horse and her owner Debra Torrico very kindly let me use her photo of Divine for this portrait.

The outline drawing has been transferred to my pastel paper and the background has been completed. I wanted to create quite an atmospheric background to compliment Divine. I have also started blocking in basic values and trying to establish some form.

More progress on Divine's portrait, continuing to establish the values and in some places you can see that her muscle structure is becoming more defined.

More progress has been made on Divines portrait. I have done some more work around her eye and neck. Her portrait is really starting to come to life now. Stand by for more updates on her portrait within the next week or so.
