PORTRAIT COMPLETED:
March 2019

This portrait was booked by a returning customer who was organising the process on behalf of the commissionee. The commissionee wanted a painting of his two Ragdoll cats together. A collection of photographs was sent to me allowing me to look at, which would be suitable for the reference image. The chosen image was selected as there was lots of detail and although it is a flash image, I was able to use other outdoor photos provided for the natural colouration.

Reference image:

I was very lucky with reference images as I was presented with numerous photos that were great quality which I could use for colouration and detailing. When working from a photograph that was taken using flash, this changes the natural tones and is the reason I always request images that have been taken in natural lighting to ensure colour balance.

Customer Testimonial:

" Mark was blown away by Bella & Niko's painting, thank you so much! "
