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!

Happy new year!

Yes, I know, might be a bit late but I do wish all of you out there a very happy and healthy new year 2009! :o)

I am already busy working on the first 3 commissions of the new year (all horses) and will soon be showing you some scans. Watch this space!

New horse commission

After several feline portraits - two of which I am still working on - it's back to horses. ;o) My latest horse commission is of a beautiful grey Thoroughbred x Irish Draught mare called 'Bea'. She will be drawn in pastels on A3 sized paper. I have just finished the pencil outline:

New horse portraits - update

Despite an unpleasant migraine and otherwise being rather busy, I have made some progress on the two horse portrait commissions I am currently working on as you can see below. I am hoping to finish the one of the English Thoroughbred mare today - well, almost anyway, as the client is not sure yet what colour to choose for the background.
