Dog Portrait – Dog Pet Portrait in Oils

Welcome to the dog portrait in oils of **Chucho**, hand-painted by Nicholas Beall on gallery-wrapped Italian linen canvas. Working from his woodland garden studio in the UK, Nicholas creates each portrait using traditional methods and the finest materials. Chucho’s portrait was a real joy to paint, and we hope you enjoy reading about the commission and seeing the finished piece below.

Commission of 'Chucho'

Cate Jones from the USA commissioned this portrait of her beloved dog Chucho. She sent a lovely photo of him sitting on a chair, and Nicholas agreed it captured Chucho’s personality beautifully – it was the perfect reference for a painting.

The portrait was created at 14 x 11 inches, a wonderful size to reflect the calm and warmth of Chucho’s character. Nicholas used a limited palette to create a soft, light-filled scene, and we’ve included a progress photo below showing him at work with brush in hand.
