Pet Portraits Commission Information

Portrait: 'Millie' with Mottled Background.
Size & Medium:
12 x 10 Oils on Gallery Wrap Cotton Canvas.
Commissioned from:
USA.


This is Millie who was painted on cotton canvas at the size of 12 x 10 for two clients in the US called and Sally and Becky in 2010. I have previously painted their other dog Reggie's and you can see the results here - Reggies Pet Portrait. They had both paintings framed in matching frames and are a perfect pair. Sadly we have no stages to this portrait, however I have added a final scan along with a detail of Reggie's portrait. Sally and Becky emailed to thank me for the portrait and you can read their testimonial too. 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 Oil Painting with Detail
We scan the majority of our artwork here in the studio, we have an epson scanner, or for the very large paintings 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 Pet 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.
