Trudi's pet portraits

🖤Winston🖤

This very special lad was commissioned at Christmas to be gifted to his owner in remembrance. You can tell he was such a fun boy to be around and very dearly missed. I really loved working on his portrait especially that big smile!

This is Max the Bulgarian scent hound he was commissioned as a special gift for his mum for Christmas and was very well received. I absolutely loved every second of drawing this handsome lad 🥰

Happy 2023 everyone! 🥳

I'd like to thank everyone who commissioned me last year.
You've helped me keep the dream alive and pushed my skills further than I could have ever imagined! I can't wait to see what 2023 brings 🥰

Portrait of Benji the patterdale 😍

Here's my most recent portrait of the gorgeous Seren the Welsh Collie 😍

I have a few spaces for portraits before the Christmas rush (I know it's far too early to be saying that word 😂) So if you've been thinking about getting someone or yourself a portrait please get in contact to secure yours 🥰

Here we have one of my latest comissions that was gifted over the weekend so I can now share 🥰

I used pastelmat and a mixture of carbothello and Pitt pastels alongside some fantastic reference photos to capture this gorgeous black lab.

Really pleased with how she turned out 🧡

Bit more done on this beautiful lady today 🧡

Progress on this A4 memorial of the handsome Bracken 💕 so many layers still to go but that personality is starting to peek though 👀

I always love the first stages of a portrait, getting down the foundations before the real work begins. I've always kept works in progress to myself in the past as I thought it was off putting for the customer to see and try to understand my madness but it's a really important part of the process 💕
