Springer Spaniel Portrait

Have just realised I didn't upload the final scan of the Coloured Pencil Portrait of Dylan, the Springer Spaniel. My client asked for a small change, so here is the final final scan....

I am currently working on another coloured pencil painting - this time of an Arabian Horse - updates are being added on the Laura's Pet Portraits Facebook Page.

Completed Springer Spaniel Portrait

Dylan, the Springer Spaniel, is now complete. I have had great fun drawing this gorgeous dog, Springers are one of my favourite breeds and depsite the difficult ears I do enjoy having them as subjects.

Anyway, here is Dylan:

Size: 8" x 10"

Medium: Derwent Coloursoft Coloured Pencil

Paper: Heavyweight Cartridge Paper

Another Springer Spaniel Update

I have been working on the Springer Spaniel coloured pencil portrait today of the gorgeous Dylan. I have started the hard part today - his ears. I still find Spaniel ears difficult but at the same time, the achievment when they're done is very rewarding too! One of Dylan's is now nearly finished:

Dylan has two eyes!

Have been working on Dylan the Springer Spaniel's portrait again today - he now has two eyes!

I have also very slightly changed his nose on the left hand side, it's been annoying me since I first drew it and I think I've finally got it right now.

Here is after today's drawing:

Springer Spaniel Pet Portrait

I have been working some more on the Springer Spaniel Pet Portrait today. As with most of my portraits, I have started this one with the eyes. So here is Dylan so far:

Springer Spaniel Update

Here is an update on my current Pet Portrait in coloured pencil of a Springer Spaniel. Apologies for the delay in postings - I am currently battling with a very tempermental internet connection!



There will be more updates on both my current pet portraits on Monday...

New Coloured Pencil Portrait

I started a new Pet Portrait today. This is an 8" x 10" Coloured Pencil portrait of a very gorgeous Springer Spaniel, who, as you know by now, are one of my favourite breeds of dog.

Here is the initial outline:

Happy Christmas!

Happy Christmas from Laura's Pet Portraits. Hope you all had a lovely day. I only had two Christmas commissions on this year, but they were both quite large and quite time consuming, with one having a full background and the other the first montage I've been asked to do, both in coloured pencil.

Here are the two completed portraits:



I have lots of plans for next year, but I will share them in a post in the New Year. The next portrait on the drawing board is a graphite pencil Horse drawing, updates will of course be shared on here.

Springer Spaniel Update

Here is an update on the Springer Spaniel montage:

Springer Spaniel Montage

This is another portrait I am currently working on. It is a montage of a Springer Spaniel, one of my favourite breeds of dog. This is the first montage I have done and I think the little pictures are going to be a challenge!

Pet Portrait finished - Guiness

Here is the completed Pet Portrait of black and white Springer Spaniel, Guiness. It is a 10" x 12" graphite portrait.

Pet Portrait update

I have completed the pet portrait of Guiness today, however, it was too late to get a decent photograph of it finished, so here is the latest photograph I took of it and I will add the finished pet portrait photograph tomorrow.

I have completed Tess' pet portrait today. I have made a few amendments around her head so hopefully there is more of a likeness now.
