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!

Pastel painting update

Finally another update on the Corvette pastel painting. It seems to be taking ages but every inch needs to be 'perfect'. I will get there in the end! :o)

Car pastel portrait update

Here's a new scan of the pastel painting of the lovely blue Corvette. It is an entirely new experience and rather different from drawing pets and animals. Every tiny detail needs to be perfect otherwise it looks wrong. A bit of a challenge but I am enjoying it.

Latest pastel commission - a car!

I am currently working on a rather unusual commission: a pastel portrait of a sports car or, to be precise, a Chevrolet Corvette. I certainly wouldn't mind that kind of car in my drive! ;o)
