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!

Inspired by a lady on Wet Canvas who has done wonderful watercolours of Exmoor ponies, my first wc will be of an Exmoor foal. I took the picture myself last year at Knepp Castle (there's a small herd of Exmoors roaming the grounds). This is the pencil draft:
