CUSTOM WATERCOLOUR PET PORTRAIT COMMISSIONS
A portrait of your pet is a truly wonderful way to celebrate the relationship with your furry, feathered or scaled companion. I really love spending time with each portrait, love hearing little facts and anecdotes about the quirks, habits and foibles of your pets, be they cats, dogs, hamsters, horses, birds or any of your companion creatures, and love to gaze at photograph you provide me, to fully connect and really bring a sense of life to each portrait. Getting a feel for the character of the subject can really transform the tone of a painting, and each animal wants to be depicted in a different way - crazy as that sounds, I always feel like your companion tells me how they want to be represented, so I simply follow the energy.
One of the things I adore doing is teasing out the hints of vibrant colours that are present in the coat and skin of all animals - a slight iridescence or glow - and to enhance that in the portrait - doing this really does give a sense of vivacity to each piece, and creates a sense of depth so that it almost appears that each piece is popping off of the page.
The quality of the photos I'm provided make a difference to the outcome of the finished piece - that said, I know that sometimes we don't always have the option of re-taking a photograph, so I will always do my best to work with the image you have, and can discuss adapting the style of the piece to accommodate this.
For more information on how to take or choose the best photograph of your dog, cat, or pet to commission a pet portrait, read this blog post!
