Dog Portraits
oil paintings , pastel drawings and pencil drawings from your photos of people and pets
I am a Glasgow specialist dog portraits artist who helps you cherish your precious photo memories of your dog with a unique fine artwork created from your photo images
please note I dont supply frames
Dog paintings are meticulously created by hand using high quality artist materials, ensuring enduring results that will last for many generations.
The dog art shows your pet's likeness and character in stunning detail, creating a personal art piece from your photo,
from eyes (which it is said are the windows to the soul ) to nose and mouth giving your dog its unique expressions you love.
and your pet`s coat is depicted as in your picture, copying the detailed texture of shadow and highlights and colour that make your dog unique.
Great care is taken to ensure accuracy to photo is maintained throughout
but please note that it will look lifeless unless it has the magic of artistic expression given by the artist in every dog or puppy portrait artwork from your special photographs.
Every painting or drawing created is a new unique artwork
I aim to give the best portraits I can for you, and to achieve this providing a photograph of your special dog that shows all the details you desire is essential for a proper likeness
It is essential that I see all the details clearly to paint or draw properly, so fuzzy out of focus pictures will not give you the results you would expect
and I must see all photos to make sure they will be suitable for producing a work of art of a high standard that you will love hanging in your home or office.
COLOUR DOG PASTELS PORTRAIT
Pastel portraits are the least well known and pastels look like chalk sticks and are applied to the paper surface like chalks and are sprayed with a fixative to keep from smudging.
These pastel portraits have a velvety texture and look to them and are favoured by many artists for portraits and the pastels can be blended to many subtle shades for eyes hair ,fur etc.
pastel dog portraits are drawn from your special photos to give a wonderful likeness and will make a fabulous gift for a friend.
See sample pets portraits on the pastel portraits gallery page.
Portraits are on heavy pastel paper and come with a free backing board and card surround mount ready for framing your pastel drawing. You need a good clear photo to show details to be copied to your pastel drawing.
PENCIL DOG DRAWING
Each pencil portrait is expertly drawn onto heavy grade art paper in a realistic portrait style taking many hours to achieve wonderful results that can be seen in pet portraits from this busy dog portrait artist.
Conte drawing pencils are used on the bigger portraits giving rich dark shadows and good contrast while the smaller drawings benefit from conte and other art pencils that give fine detailed results you will love.
Each pencil portrait in my normal sizes has a free card surround mount and a backing board is supplied as standard ready to frame.
A good clear photograph is required for a superior result .
