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!

Percheron watercolour painting update

Here's a new scan of the watercolour I'm working on. Painting the tack in particular is quite a challenge but I have to admit I'm having a great time painting this piece. If it turns out the way I'd like it to it might end up on my own wall. :o)

I have also just finished a pastel pet portrait. It is of a dog but as it is a birthday present, I can't show it just yet. I will soon though!

Rhodesian Ridgeback WIP

I have got some work done on the car but I have to say...it is hard work! The dreaded number plate still ahead...oh well, I'll get there! ;o)
I'm also working on a new dog portrait. It is a head study of a beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback in pastels. Here's a scan of the work in progress:

New horse portrait

I have started working on a new horse portrait commission. I have not finished the car and cat portraits yet but this one is a birthday present so I need to finish it asap.
