RUA PORTRAIT COMPLETED: March 2021

Labrador retrievers coloured pencil portraits framed in wooden mouldings

This was one of two portraits ordered by the commissionee, which was a birthday gift for his dad's 60th birthday. To view the page of the second portrait, click the image below.

Seamus the black labrador coloured pencil drawing

Reference image:

I was sent a few photos of Seamus, but as black animals are so difficult to photograph as dark values tend to swallow up any detail. This image was not ideal but it was a great pose and it balanced up the portrait of Rua.

Customer Testimonial:

" I just wanted to say again a big thank you for the portraits. I managed to get them framed with a lovely guy based in Longbenton. I've attached the finished pictures, they look great!

Dad loved them, a very successful 60th present
Thanks, Mike "
