Cat Portraits Commission Information
Portrait: 'Eboni' with Small Background.
Size & Medium: 18 x 14 Oils on Gallery Wrap Linen Canvas.
Commissioned from: UK.
The two portraits of Smoki and Eboni were commissioned by Helen Uk who traveled all the way to Wales to collect them. This gave us a fantastic photo opportunity as you can see form the images at the bottom of the page. I have included here some of the painting process, a final scan and detail along with the reference photos. Each portrait was painted on fine cotton canvas to the size of 18 x 14 in 2010. I hope you enjoy this page of information and if you would like to commission us to paint your pet don't hesitate to email us at any time.
The Cat Portrait in Progress
We try to make sure we take a number of photos of the portrait during the day and display them on our portraits in progress blog for our clients to see. We have daylight easel lamps which allow us to see the painting in pure natural light, and sometimes this lighting effect the photos that we take. This can account for colour differences between each stage and the final scan below.
The Oil Painting with Detail
We scan the majority of our artwork here in the studio, we have an epson scanner, or for the very large paintings we take photographs of the artwork using a Sony DSLR camera, a tripod and two diffused photography lights. Our scans and photographs are always perfect quality if clients require giclee prints of their hand painted portrait for friends or family.
Client Cat Portraits Reference Photos
Our clients email a range of photographs for us to work with, we use one for the main pose of the portrait and others for detail, backgrounds etc The photographs depicted below may vary in colour to the finished painting above. This can be due to the scanned oil painting being slightly different to the original or often clients give us more than one photo to work from i.e. one for the pose and another for colouring.
Client Comments and Feedback
We are always thrilled to read our clients emails, we are in touch with clients via email and sometimes via telephone, skype and texts throughout the entire process. Clients also leave us messages on our portraits in progress blog when they are watching their portrait in progress and also comment on our facebook page too. We try to add snippets of their emails here for you to read, plus you can see more photos of happy clients with the portraits in our client feedback section and on our main pet portraits website feedback section too.

Hi Melanie
Thank you thank you for the paintings. They are wonderful. My husband loves them and is very jealous of your talent. We have decided that the paintings will be hung in our living room and so take pride of place in our house. I will send you a picture once they are up. Thank you for your kind hospitality today and for the tea and cake. Tom is gorgeous such a loving animal. It was great to meet you and Nick. Wish Nick a Happy Birthday from us and have a lovely time over Easter.
Best wishes
Helen |
