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!

I met them at the local agricultural fair a few months ago and thought their expressions are just priceless! So here's the charcoal portrait I did of them:

Sleepy cat portrait WIP

Made some progress on the cat pastel portrait....the reference photo is a bit small so it is hard to see all the detail. Anyhow, getting there I think...
The other pastel portrait I'm working on - the grey mare - should be finished by tomorrow. Keeping busy! ;o)
