Interested in commissioning a pet portrait? You can contact me by emailing
info@lm-art.co.uk
If you have an idea of what sort of composition and size you would like, let me know and I can give you a quote.  Also please feel free to email if you have any other queries about my work.

You will need to provide a photograph I can draw from. Here, I want to explain what kind of photo I’ll need - I know this section is a bit tedious, but please read it as it may save you a lot of complaining and dissatisfaction in the long run.  I am calling upon my lovely dog Maddie to assist me here.  She deserves a mention in return for all the photos I've made her pose for!

So when you are looking for photos to send me, please bear in mind that they need to be:

Blurred 1. Detailed and in focus. I draw very exactly from the detail of the photo and the more there is, the less I will have to make up as I go along, and the more the dog/cat/duck-billed platypus will look like your pet! I prefer film photos, but I will draw from very good digital ones.


[Maddie may have an endearing expression on her face, but it's hard to tell...]
Too small 2. A decent size. A small dog in an expanse of lawn/beach/carpet, even if it is in focus, is a real pain to draw from!


[I think she's here somewhere]
Photo I like 3. Ones you like. My only complaint to date was from a woman whose dog appeared to have strangely shaped feet that were too big.  This was because the photo had been taken at a funny angle, and its feet were half-hidden by grass. So the picture needs to be a good representation of the pet as you see them, because I only have that one image to go on, and I follow it very closely.


[Obviously I can't say what kind of photos anyone else likes, so here's one I like!]

OK, so all this is pretty obvious, but you'd be surprised how often I need to explain these things!  If you have a photo and you are unsure about whether it is suitable to draw from, and if you are able to send a copy as an attachment in an email, please do so.  Please bear in mind that I am a student, and my degree comes first in my life at the moment, so if you require the portrait for a certain time, please give me plenty of time to get it done.  Again, my email is info@lm-art.co.uk.
