Photo Tips;
One of the most important items needed for a successful painting featuring your horse, dog or those of other pets, is a set of good photographs. The photos must not be copyrighted or permission to use them must be obtained. I use these pictures to capture conformation, colour, size, expression, personality, and pose in my painting.
** Photos taken in sunlight are the best for providing detail and colouration. If possible, take the photos without a flash. Get down to your pet's eye level.
When providing a pet portrait I can always remove hands and arms from the photos. Be creative. Enjoy your time having fun and taking the photos. Just take care not to cut off any ears or tails (if it's a full body portrait) in your photo of your pet.
Please check out some sample photos sent to me. These are great photos in order to provide a detailed and realistic pet portrait for you.
You may supply the photos or request to have them taken by me. If I take the photos, consideration for my time and travel expenses are incurred.
Of course you may wish to give me a general idea of what you are looking for and then let my imagination and creativity run free to create your painting. After agreeing upon what you want, I will go to work. So if you are interested, please contact me by phone or email. The information is listed on our Contact page.
