Process and Price

Meet and Consultation.

One of the most important steps to truly capture the spirit of your dog will be spent getting to know them personally. The initial meet is valuable time to spend understanding their personality and characteristics.  I work my ideas from the live experience and use photos to capture the right moment. Once complete we can review the images together and agree the chosen pose.

If meeting up is not an option, I can communicate with you online and work with photos. This also works for dogs who are no longer with you anymore.

Getting Started

Once all arrangements have been agreed a 50% deposit is required to commence the work. I work with oil paints and so the process takes around 4-6 weeks. You get to choose your background colour along with professionally fitted frame, different options are available.

Quality of Work

Each piece of artwork is created to the highest standards possible. I use the finest brushes, the purest pigments onto professional artists' canvas. The art is then finished with a beautifully crafted frame.
