I am an animal lover, there have been many furries in my life and each of them had their own personality. This is what i work to capture in a portrait.

When you commission a portrait, i want to learn about your pet through your eyes and take what i have discovered to create something unique to you and your pet which you can treasure.

Pencil/Graphite

‘Googoo & Popeye’

Pencil is a quite forgiving medium and gives a beautiful contrast between the two animals

Wax Crayon

‘Dave Brown’

Wax crayon is brilliant for blending to create fur and subtle changes in light and dark tones.

Watercolour

‘Boots and Tiger’

Watercolour using ‘wet-on’wet’ technique works well for blending the stripes on a very fluffy cat.
