Fine Pet Portraits - an artist's blog

My name is Sandra Palme, I am a professional pet portrait artist based in the UK. I draw your dog, cat horse or any other pet in pastels, charcoal, coloured pencils or graphite. It is my goal to capture the pet's personality and essence as well as their looks. I know how much your pet means to you as I feel the same about mine!

Help Betsy Campaign - pastel portrait work in progress

I have now started working on the portrait of cat 'Betsy'. If you are not familiar with Betsy and her story, please check out the following blog post:
So I am painting a pastel portrait of Betsy in order to support this campaign. I've already spent several hours on the painting and I think it's coming along nicely.
Here's a scan of the outline:
I chose coloured paper because I think it'll make Betsy's special colours and markings stand out. I started with Betsy's eyes, added the first layer of white and am now in the process of blocking in the darker areas. I'll post more scans soon so watch this space!
