About My Dog Portraits

Retriever Dog portrait

I hope you enjoy viewing my gallery of dog and pet portraits. Almost all of the artwork shown in the gallery are commissioned portraits, alongside some self directed work that I have created when testing new materials.

My artwork has a life-like, highly detailed and painterly style that I have perfected over thirty years of working in the field of portraiture. All of my portraits are created over many hours using high quality materials in rich colours and tones to ensure a stunning likeness.

I work in pastel, graphite pencil, coloured pencil, watercolour and oils on canvas.

If you have any questions about the materials I use or whether a specific medium would be suitable for your portrait please get in touch as I’d be delighted to advise.

Your Experience is My Focus

My clients often tell me how much they’ve enjoyed the experience of commissioning a portrait. The process from initial ideas and composition to receiving the finished artwork is unique and exciting.

I’m always delighted to receive feedback from my clients and visitors so please feel free to leave me a message or review on my facebook.

You can view the ratings and reviews on my facebook page: Portraits by Pippa Elton.
