Pet Portraits Artist - Selecting a Medium

Graphite: A much underestimated medium but this beautiful Weimaraner dog perfectly portrays the qualities of this medium. Although graphite can be light and gentle if desired, it can also lead to a strong dynamic statement with the attraction being the overall image it creates. All pencil, charcoal and watercolour portraits are produced on the highest quality French, acid free, 100% cotton paper to assist preservation.  Completion 2-3 weeks

Pastel enhanced watercolour: This beautiful horse demonstrates the qualities of enhanced watercolour portraiture. This medium can look flat and uninspired, but the added pencil work transforms an otherwise acceptable image, into an almost 3D painting. Please remember though, no artwork should be positioned within direct or indirect sunlight, and especially watercolours as they will certainly fade in time.  Completion from 3 weeks

Oils: The ultimate and most difficult to use! Nothing can match the mere presence and atmosphere of an original oil painting hanging on your wall. With oils, a professional artist can create a warmth and depth unequalled by any other medium. The crème de la crème of the art world making the most powerful statement possible and the only medium that, with care, will last into the next millennium!  Completion minimum 6 weeks

Charcoal: A handsome Doberman Pinscher dog and well suited to be depicted in this heavy, no holds barred, medium. Bold, eye-catching and most definitely beautiful ...... but not for the weak hearted. Fine art must be protected from all sources of heat and sunlight.  Completion from 2 weeks.
