A Endearing & Enduring Pet Portrait is Always Based On:
-
Quality materials: paint, ink, canvas, paper
-
Great photos of the animal
-
Knowledge of my subject's personality
-
Understanding my client's expectations
-
Attention to detail
-
Relying on practiced artistic techniques
-
Commitment to excellence
Over the past 25 years I've had the pleasure of creating hundreds of portraits.
While the subjects change - the process I use never does.
I only use materials of the highest quality for my paintings, the portraits I create will last for many, many years to come.
Steps I take when I create a pet portrait:
-
Prep the canvas/cut paper to size
-
Sketch the subject onto the surface I'm using
-
Portraits on canvas - painting the sides
-
Paint the background elements
-
Paint the border elements (if this style has been chosen)
-
Paint the animal
-
Spray the finished portrait with a matt spray varnish
-
Attach hanging wire/attach double mats (to portrait on paper)
