Pet Portraits Commission Information
This portrait is of a dearly missed Jack Russell Terrier called Holden.The client in the US commissioned a montage drawing to show Holden doing different activities and in various stages through his life. I will be taking photos of the portrait framed, along with the print of the portrait to serve as a perpetual trophy for the Canadian National Jack Russell Terrier Trial in 2011 and will add them when they are complete. The print will have an engraved plaque along with top and plaques for the winners to inscribe each year at the bottom. 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 Pet Portrait in Progress
We try to make sure we take a number of photos of the portrait during the day and display them on our portraits in progress blog for our clients to see. We have daylight easel lamps which allow us to see the painting in pure natural light, and sometimes this lighting effect the photos that we take. This can account for colour differences between each stage and the final scan below.
 The Pencil Drawing with Detail
We scan the majority of our artwork here in the studio, we have an epson scanner, or for the very large drawings 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 drawn 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
Client Comments and Feedback
We are always thrilled to read our clients emails, we are in touch with clients via email and sometimes via telephone, skype and texts throughout the entire process. Clients also leave us messages on our portraits in progress blog when they are watching their portrait in progress and also comment on our facebook page too. We try to add snippets of their emails here for you to read, plus you can see more photos of happy clients with the portraits in our client feedback section too.

Hi Melanie,
It turned out beautifully and you really captured Holden's lovely spirit. It's still hard to believe he's gone....

.........I wanted to send you a photo of Holden's Trophy, which was presented up in Canada at the 2011 JRTCC National Jack Russell Terrier Trial. Our first recipient was Rebel Run Possum. Everyone thought it turned out beautifully! I haven't had time to hang the original yet, but I'll send you a photo once it is up..........
Thanks again for everything and talk to you soon.
