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!

Horse portraits in pastels

There is actually something I can show you! I did two horse portraits on velour paper last week...both pastels. I used my own reference photos and had loads of fun!

Dog montage portrait

I guess I have been neglecting my blog!

I have been working on a couple of horse portraits both of which are now finished (I can't show them yet as they are birthday presents).
I have just started a dog montage portrait - it is of a beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback called 'Kruger'. Sadly, it is a memorial portrait as Kruger is no longer with his owners. I am drawing him in pastels as a puppy, adult and old dog. Here is how far I've got:

Horse portrait finished

The second portrait of the pretty Westphalian mare is finished as well and her owners are very happy. So am I - the reference photo was rather poor so I am very pleased with the result. I am sure the two horse portraits will look great next to each other.
