Photo Guidelines
'Young Arthur'
Coloured Charcol Sketch
12" x 10"
To create the best possible portrait of your pet, I'll need a clear digital reference photo and a few details to help guide the artwork.
The photo should be at your pet's eye level (not from above), preferably in natural light, showing any markings and expression clearly.
If you have any concerns or questions about taking a suitable photograph,
please contact me — I am more than happy to help.
We will then discuss the size, best medium for your portrait and delivery.

A little about me...
Hello and welcome,
I returned to art after an absence of many years and rediscovered the calm and focus it brought to my mind during the business of everyday life.
Our home includes many four-legged friends, big and small, and therefore they became natural subjects for me.
Friends and family would often ask me to create a portrait of their beloved pet, both past and present, and I was surprised and delighted at how much joy it bought myself and the emotion (sometimes tears!) my creations ignited in others.
Each portrait gives me the chance to celebrate a much-loved companion and capture a little of what makes them special.
I look forward to meeting yours!
