Male fawn boxer dog pet portrait completed in coloured pencils by UK artist Karen M Berisford

White Boxer dog in Coloured pencils

ERIC
8" x 10"

This portrait was booked by a previous commissionee Sarah, who has had a few portraits of her own Boxer boys Lennox & Bruno and as her friend had recently lost Eric she wanted to give her a very special gift and asked me to do a pencil portrait of him for her. Sarah wanted the full works and requested a frame too. The final portrait is now lovingly treasured by Eric's Mum.

Created: September 2017

" I can not thank you enough it's like seeing him all over again.
You have got every little detail of my boy!
I collected him from the sorting office at 7.30am lol been up since 2am! it's beautiful xxx "

A time lapse showing the creation of Erics left eye, see how I apply numerous layers to achieve the realism.

Here is a progress video, showing close ups of the detail I apply to all my pencil portraits. It gives you a better view of the colours too.

THE FRAMED PORTRAIT

Although I do not offer framing with my pencil portraits on my website, I can organise framing if the someone specifically requests it and accepts full responsibility for possible damage in transit. As Sarah had previously ordered framed portraits from myself, she also requested it for this one too. She chose a striking gold frame with double mount and a gold name plaque. A beautiful finish.
