Coloured pencil drawing of a black Cocker Spaniel

Black Cocker Spaniel dog created in Coloured pencils

Picture

BENNY
​8" X 10"

I was contacted by a lady and asked if I would create two coloured pencil portraits for Christmas. One for her daughter, the other for her son. This one was for her son. She sent three photos of Benny, all of which helped to create the final pencil portrait. The reference photo used, was the ideal pose, but the lighting was off and so I the third photo for his colouration. Benny also has a white wisp of fur on his chest that could not be seen on either of the other photos, and so I could use the second photo for this section. Providing a number of photos of the subject is recommended as it allows me to create the right colour and detail in the final portrait.

Completed: December 2017

Customer Testimonial

" Hi Karen, Just received the portraits. They are stunning and so lifelike.
​I've just left them to be framed and they will be ready for Christmas. Thanks again, you are so talented "

The finished portraits

Both these portraits were created in a faster time frame than usual due to framing requirements and the framer's timescales. Both were created by alternating between the 2 using a tightly planned schedule. Once complete, both portraits were treated with a UV fixative and each came with their own certificate of Authenticity. If you wish to see how Taz's portrait came together, you can click on the 'previous pet portrait' at the bottom of the page.
