Fawn Boxer dog in Coloured pencils

Picture

BUBU
​12" X 12"

BuBu had recently passed away and the commissionee wanted to present a portrait of him, as a gift to her husband at Christmas. The better photo of BuBu had been taken indoors. The lighting was uneven and he had his ears pulled back, so I super-imposed his ears from a second photo onto the reference image (seen below) to create a natural stance. I also tweaked his eyes so he was looking forward, straightened his mouth and balanced out the tones in his face, which could only be achieved by working from a collection of photos that had been sent in addition. Joanne also sent me some photos of a favourite park they used to walk BuBu, and this was used to create the background.

​Created: November 2017

"  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.
