Pet Portraits - Sabre the Rescue

 Hey Everyone!
How are we all doing?

Do you remember in a previous post I hinted that the portrait of Winnie the American Bulldog was going to be part of a series?
Well today I'm going to share with you the second portrait in this series, and introduce you to Winnie's brother from another mother. 

It's Sabre the Rescue Pointer-mix!

Saber and Winnie's portraits have now arrived safely after their long journey to the US of A, however this is not the end! There are still more to come from this little series featuring these two beauties!

For now though here's a little snapshot of these matching portraits together before they left for their forever home!

Both of these portraits are A4 in size and coloured traditionally using pencils.

If you have a pair of pets that you'd like immortalised in their own portraits like this, then please get in touch!

Pet Portraits - Bramble the Border Terrier

 Hey Everyone!

I hope you're all still safe, well and finding things to maintain your sanity!?! Does anyone else feel like they're living Groundhog Day though? I've got at least three more weeks of furlough before non-essential retail is due to re-open, and I'm really struggling to distinguish one day from the next!

Thank god for these portraits and the wonderful pups that're featured in them! They're the only way I gauge the passing of time now! Last week was Bulldogs, this week is Border Terriers!

Let me introduce you to the beautiful Bramble! 
Bramble's portrait was commissioned as a birthday gift, now that date has passed I reveal her without spoiling the surprise!

I had a lot of fun with Bramble's portrait! Her coarse hair texture presented an interesting challenge! Her portrait is A4 in size and coloured traditionally using pencil colour.

If you know someone who would love a portrait of their furry friend as a gift, then please get in touch!

Pet Portraits - Winnie the American Bully

 Good Morning everyone!

It's been such a lovely week so far, the weather has been glorious! It really helps lifts your spirits when the sun is shining, doesn't it?
I hope you've all been able to find the time to go out and soak up some of those rays, be it in your garden or just from your bedroom window. If you can, get out to some of your local green spaces! I find nothing invigorates me more than walking the dog through the woods or in the park when the air is crisp and the sun is shining!

Today's pet portrait features a fun loving girlie from the USA, who loves a run in the sunshine as much as she loves a sunny snooze! 
It's Winnie the American Bulldog!

Winnie's Full body portrait here is A4 in size, and coloured traditionally with colouring pencils. 

This portrait is part of a little series I was commissioned to produce, so keep your eyes peeled for more of this gorgeous gal to come!

Pet Portraits - Luigi the Dachshund

 Hey Everyone!

Who's looking forward to the weekend!?
I know time is pretty irrelevant for those in a similar situation, I for one am having difficulty distinguishing one day from another! The only way I can keep track of the weeks ticking by is by giving myself the weekends off, breaking my routine to step away from my desk and take the dog out for an extra long walk somewhere new, or enjoying a few cheeky drinks with the rugby!
I hope you all have something to look forward to this weekend!

I know one pooch who lives every day like it's the weekend!
The subject of today's pet portrait is one happy little chappy, living his best life with his human who received this portrait as a valentine's gift last month!
It's a-Luigi, number one Dachshund!

Like most of my recent pet portraits, this one is also A4 in size and coloured traditionally using colouring pencils. Thank you Adam for commissioning this piece, I really hope you and Alexandra had a lovely Valentine's day together, with Luigi as a third wheel!

If you or someone you know has a special doggo in your life that deserves a portrait, then get in touch!

Pet Portraits - Jed the Rescue

Hey Everyone!

How are we all doing this week?
Spring is definitely in the air, I feel. The sun is out, the daffodils are blooming and with it hope for seeing things return to normal are on the horizon! I know many people now who have had their first vaccinations, and with the kids back at school today it marks the first phase of easing this third lockdown.
I imagine a lot of people will struggle to adjust, and I hope everyone is able to show understanding, patience and kindness to all the kids and their teachers returning to the classrooms today! 

Big love to you all!

Now, today I'm going to share with you a portrait of a very sweet little chap!
This is Jed the rescue pup! This sweet little chap's mother is a Pointer but it's uncertain what he might be cross with, can anyone make a guess?

Jed's Full Body portrait is A4 in size and coloured in a traditional style using pencil colours.
If you'd like to treat yourself with a portrait of your furry friend, then please get in touch!

You all seemed to enjoy those time lapse drawing videos of Holly the Chocolate Lab and Phoebe the Goldie, that I went and did another! This time filming the process this adorable fluffball!
I did have a slight issue with my phone halfway through filming this unfortunately, so please do excuse the slight jump in the middle. But regardless, here for your viewing pleasure, is the process of colouring little Jed from start to finish!
Enjoy!!

Pet Portraits - Lola the Cockapoo

 Hey Everyone!

I hope you all got out to enjoy the sunshine over the weekend! I think we all needed to feel that warmth of the sun and sit under a blue sky after what's felt like the longest winter ever. It feels good to know spring is definitely just around the corner!

 Another thing that I hope is gonna make you feel good is the portrait I'm going to share with you today...
Let me introduce you to this gorgeous bundle of brown curls, it's Lola the Cockapoo! 

Lola loves nothing better than long walks on the beach with her human, Samantha, who commissioned this piece. Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to draw your beautiful girl! Maybe Lupin and I will see you both on the beach sometime!

Like the others I've done lately, this portrait of Lola is A4 in size and coloured traditionally with pencils.

If you have a special pup that deserves to be spoilt with their very own portrait then please get in touch!
