Pet Portraits

This is an oil painting of an English Setter, a hunting dog, painted on canvas. Oil is a popular choice for portraits.

This is a watercolour painting of the ever popular German Shepherd breed. It is gentle medium, yet capable of fine detail.

This is a pencil portrait of an Irish Setter, a long haired breed of dog. I think pencil is under-valued as a medium, as it is capable of great sensitivity in portraits.

This is a pencil portrait of a German Shepherd, in profile, 8 x 8 1/4 in., matted and framed under glass, $200 CAD.

The portrait of the Shih Tzu is in coloured pencil, which I love using for fine detail but a soft effect.

I painted this dual portrait of tan and black cocker spaniels, to showcase the use of gouache, which is an opaque watercolour akin to acrylic.
