Pet Portraits – taking commissions
Published by on July 10th, 2009 Comments Off
If you’ve been paying attention around here (or on flickr), you’ll be aware of a re-kindling of old techniques for the recent pet and animal portraits. Such efforts are far more rewarding when they are commissioned, so a new website was inevitable!
This currently very modest site will be a focus for promoting pet portraits and hopefully generating a few commissions. Little more than an about, how-to, and simple ordering process right now, I hope it will grow, particularly in featuring new works as I complete them.
Many similar sites (and there really are many) also feature technique articles and videos, so I am pondering something similar. Perhaps some live streaming when I am working on a piece as there does seem to be a fascination in how images like this are created.
With my current schedule I can just about manage to produce a couple of these portraits in a week, so here’s hoping the orders do not start flooding in just yet! But if you know someone with pets who might appreciate a portrait, let me encourage you to point them at the site.
This does mean that I will not be doing many freebie sample drawings from now on – as a few of you have asked – unless I have nothing else in the pipeline to work on.
