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!

New Forest trip and cat pastel portrait

My latest commission is of a black cat - I got some work done today and am very pleased with the portrait so far.
Yesterday, however I didn't draw at all - we went to the New Forest to see the ponies! I had been before and just love watching them in their natural habitat. I even got to stroke a few nosey mares and foals that came up to me to say hello! I took tons of photos that I might use as reference photos in the future. Loved the foals in particular...this little fella was fast asleep and not at all phased by me and my camera! Maybe I'll do a watercolour of him...isn't he just SO cute? :o)
