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!

Portrait of Holsteiner Claudius finished

It's finished! I really enjoyed drawing this beautiful young chap. Please note that the background is really cream/beige, not yellow. Thank you, scanner. ^^

And another update!

Busy day! I've spent about 6 hours today working on Claude's portrait and I think it is looking quite promising! ;o) This should be the last WIP scan - hopefully I'll be able to finish the portrait tomorrow afternoon.

Friesian mare in charcoal started

Some of you may remember the Friesian filly I drew last year. I am drawing her again now - this time her owner wants to give the portrait away as a present. Again the horse will be drawn in charcoal as it is such a wonderful medium for black animals in particular!

I am also going to do two pencil drafts today and should be able to upload them later. One is of a Holsteiner gelding, the other one of an Arab. So watch this space!
