The Dog Portrait Procedure
Commissioning the painting of your dog portrait should not be taken lightly. Nowadays there are so many sites claiming to be able to take on this highly personal task for you but with little or no expertise or experience.
Fortunately the fact that you’re reading this, means that you’ve found the work of renowned artist David Orland, who over the past years has specialised in taking on pet portrait commissions, capturing your pet’s likeness to create a truly great gift.
As one of the UK’s leading dog portrait artists you’re in safe hands and can be assured of receiving what can only be described as a hand painted master piece.
Many artists use the medium of oil painting, or creating pastel pet portraits but please note, David’s work consists of a combination of traditional sketch work enhanced with the application of a gouache painted finish giving depth and realism to ever piece. Take your time to browse through the samples David has chosen to display on the site which show the quality and likeness that he can achieve.
Ordering your pet portrait from Big Illustration couldn’t be easier either. Simply fill in the contact form to start an order. Send in the photo of the moment you wish to capture and we’ll get back to you with a timescale, cost and any other details that may occur in the procedure.
We strive to get the fine details sorted at the start to avoid any chance of disappointment at the end – not that this has ever happened if you take the time to read through the reviews. Please contact us today to discuss your custom pet portrait and we’ll ensure you go on to receive the perfect pet portrait gift.
Please also take the time to review David’s work in relation to cat portraits and horse portraits.
