Pet Portraits of Dogs, Cats and Horses in Oils and Pastels
Pet Portraits of Dogs, Cats and Horses in Oils and Pastels are the categories that
represent most of my animal paintings but occasionally I am asked to paint other
animals, which have included portraits of rabbits and birds. As it is for portrait
paintings of people the commissions are often for a birthday or a Christmas present
and I have done many posthumous pet portraits and horse portraits, works of art that
will last a lifetime.
My oil painting portraits of dogs and cats and my horse portraits as oil paintings
are always painted onto the highest quality linen or cotton canvas supplied by the
best manufacturers and suppliers of artist canvas; and the oil paints I use for my
pet portraits and horse portraits paintings are made by the UK’s highest quality
oil paint manufacturers. My pastel portraits are also done using only the highest
quality pastels and pastel papers available
My pet portraits and horse portraits as oil paintings and pastel drawings are done
in several formats, head and shoulders, half length, three quarters length, and full
length depictions, and are often landscape in orientation to suit the subject, for
instance a landscape format for painting a whole horse. The painting may only depict
one animal or show several. The background setting of the painting may simply be
plain, or a detailed background; but plain backgrounds are popular, whatever my clients
want!
My art of drawing and painting animal portraits with pastels is with the same realistic
approach and style as it is with my oil paintings If you want to commission me to
paint an animal portrait for you in oils, or paint or draw one for you in pastels;
