From a photo to a portrait of your best friend
Thank you for visiting my website. There's something really special about being trusted to draw someone's much loved pet. I love getting to know their character through the photographs you send me and bringing all those tiny, familiar details to life on paper.
My aim is to create a portrait that feels completely personal to you and that captures the pet you know and love so well.
HOW I WORK
I draw from one reference photo using a mixture of Faber castle polychromes, Derwent and Caran d'ache luminance pencils on Fabriano acquarello watercolour hot pressed paper.
"We asked Chloe to draw a portrait of Lackie for our sister. There is no doubt at all about who this dog is: Chloe has captured his personality more perfectly than a photograph could ever do. A true artist. We cannot be more pleased with both the pet portrait and the way that Chloe progressed our commission."

SEND YOUR PHOTOS
I will send you my pet portrait photo guide beforehand. After I've received your photos I will help you choose the best photos for digital mock - ups.
3
CHOOSE YOUR DIGITAL MOCK-UP
I will then create digital mock-ups of what the portrait will look using the best photos of your pet. This will help us decide on the final reference photo.
WHAT IS A DIGITAL MOCK UP?
Using computer software I essentially create a digital version of what your portrait will look like using the best photos of your pet. This really helps visualise the final piece and give an idea of how you want the positioning and placement of your pet to be on the paper. From there, with the help of the digital mock ups, we will select which reference photo will best translate into a portrait.
