Fawn Boxer dog in Coloured pencils

BUBU
12" X 12"

BuBu had sadly passed away and the commissionee decided to book this pencil portrait as a gift to her husband for Christmas. The best reference photo of BuBu was an indoor one, and his ears were back so I used other photos of him to place them forward and make him look natural. I also balanced out the tones in his face too. Joanne also sent me some photos of a favourite park they used to walk BuBu in which was used for the background.

" Hi Karen, Just wanted to let you know that I absolutely love BuBu. He is now gone for framing and I will send a picture to you when I get him back next week. Once Christmas is over and Shane has gotten the gift, you are more than welcome to post Bu’s progress and final image on Facebook. It is just amazing. I will be in touch.
Thanks again,
Joanne "

A simple white frame and single white mount is especially suited to portraits such as this where there are lots of detail and vibrant colours as the light colour does not detract from the portrait but helps to create a bright space where BuBu is the centre of attention.
