Dog Portraits
Most dog lovers will agree that dogs are like better versions of humans, but with furrier coats and waggy tails. They radiate vast quantities of genuine character and personality, are fiercely loyal, and give us lots of unconditional love. Commonly referred to as our best friend, it isn’t surprising that dog portraits are by far and away my most commissioned painting.


"The most important thing is getting the look that you see in your dog as well as capturing the likeness."

A simple process for commissioning a dog portrait

Meeting
A meeting with you and your dog to see their unique personality and to take lots of photos. If a meeting isn’t possible I can work from your high quality photos.

Specification
Agreement on dog portrait composition, medium (choose from either gouache or acrylic), size of board or canvas, timescale and overall fee.

Proof
A dog portrait takes about 1 week to complete. I’ll email a photo for your approval, and can make minor adjustments if required.

Finish
Apart from canvas commissions, all portraits come with a card mount. I also offer an optional framing service.

Viewing
We can arrange to meet at my studio or at your home. Deliveries are also possible for long distance commissions.
Commissioning a dog portrait is straight forward. I can help guide you through all your options so that you have the perfect portrait of your beloved dog to treasure forever.
