This is the commission I am working on now!
These two are stunning! They are Mother and son. . Caprice, obviously the mum, is gentle and sweet natured, Solo the yearling is a little more sparky! I worked along side the owners, to ensure we used the right photos to get their characters actoss.
It is sooooo important to do this. If you dont consult with the people that know the animals the best, then you are doing them a diservice. They will be the best judge on which photograph to use.!! As long as the quality is there, go with their decision every time!!
It was a beautiful day on the day we chose to do the photographs. I took loads and then emailed the results to the owners to scrutinise. I think she has made fab choices and so now I have drawn out and transfered the images on to canvas.
So far I have put very basic colours on to give the suggestion of a sunny day outside. As the painting developes, these will become more subtle and will be blended to create a background which enhances but does not dominate the finished portrait. Anyway, this is the painting so far....stay tuned to see the continued progress over the next week or so.
