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!

Welsh Cob gelding portrait finished

I have just finished the pastel portrait of "Ijsbrand", the young Welsh Cob gelding. His name is Dutch and means 'burning sword'. His owner is delighted with the portrait. More horse portraits to come so watch this space!

Two cat portraits finished

I've just finished two cat portrait commissions, one of which I cannot show yet as it is a birthday present. However, the other one is the chartreux cat's pastel portrait. The ref wasn't brilliant so I am quite happy with the result. So is the client. :)

Chartreux tomcat in pastels

I have already started Al Capone's pastel portrait, a full body study. Unfortunately, the reference photo is rather small and Al Capone has his eyes half closed. Anyhow, here is a scan of the work in progress:
