characteristics and features (eyes, mouth, the shape of the head, that special look in his or her eyes). A single picture is often not enough. In spite that the painting itself will be based on a single picture. I need several other pictures to be able to visualize your pet entirely and create a more resembling and real painting. The more pictures you send, the better the final result will be. Take a look at the tips given on my page on how to photograph your pet to get the best results. Try to take a picture of the |

I like to paint “close-ups” of the face and head of the animal, instead of painting full body portraits I specialized myself in painting expressions, the eyes and the spirit of the pet. Oil and watercolor paintings are an ideal way of immortalizing your pet and make a very unique and personal decoration in your house or apartment. They can even help in maintaining that special memory of a dear friend that perhaps is no longer with us. |

The oil paintings take more or less 5 weeks to complete and then still need some time to dry before it can be send. Oil paintings consist of several layers of paint and each layer needs it’s time to dry accurately before another layer can be applied. Even with modern aids and technology, painting in oil requires time and dedication and it is one of the things that makes oil paintings appeal so much to us. Watercolors take less time to complete and can be shipped in 2 to 3 weeks maximum. Feel free to send me a message or ask your questions on the contact page. If you want to see how I create an oil painting, make sure you visit my atelier where there are always some works in progress to see. Also look at the new watercolor flower link. More to come in the future. |
