All of the paintings you see on our blog are commissions from clients worldwide. We traditionally hand paint or draw every pet portrait ourselves. There's no digital trickery involved! We start by drawing out the image by hand and follow on with painting in oils, pastel or in pencil and you can follow each stage we make here on the blog on a daily basis.Art Tution

Art CoursesDraw Faeries Book
My first book is published! Its a Learn to Draw Faeries book published by New Holland Publishers. If you watch the video above I go through a few pages showing the content from creating the characters, learning to draw, working with mediums, looking at dark fairies, flower fairies, to creating digital artwork. It can be purchased from loads of places from Borders, Barnes & Noble to Waterstones!

Horse Pastel Portraits
Filed Under Completed Horse Portraits
This is Indian Magic and was completed for a client in the US and will hopefully be sent in the next few days so that it can be with the customer before Christmas. With it being near to the last week for posting portraits overseas, we like to make sure we are organised and allow enough time for it to arrive in time for it to be framed. This year we are quite organised with our overseas commissions and this is our final overseas portrait for the year. We like to get all oil portraits completed for abroad in November, this then gives them a good amount of time to dry before sending them and then next we make sure the pastels are completed and sent. We haven’t missed a deadline yet so touch wood this will continue, although I have to credit Melanie for organising everything here as she tends to keep things running smoothly! I will blog my next portrait soon.
