Here at Pedigree Portraits you can commission a beautiful, original portrait of your dog in oil or charcoal from your favourite photograph.

Paintings or drawings are available in various sizes, and as you can see, it is possible to incorporate more than one subject in the portrait.

Prices start from £75, depending on the size, how much preparatory work is required, and whether the portrait is in oil or charcoal.

I can work with you to come up with a composition that appeals to you; for more complicated subjects I would supply you with working sketches so that you know what you are paying for.

Remember, the better the photo, the better the final image. I prefer a digital photo, but will accept a print. As part of the consultation process I can give you advice on how to take a satisfactory photo. All photographs you send me will be returned with the finished work.

Each portrait will be ready within 6 to 8 weeks. You are not obliged to purchase the final portrait if you are not completely satisfied with it, and I will of course endeavour to make alterations if you are unhappy.

If you are at all interested in commissioning a work, please take a look at my gallery, and then contact me to discuss things further. You can leave me feedback, send me an email (contact@pedigreeportraits.co.uk) or phone me on (0191) 492 3517 or 07784 645988.

Please note that whenever you purchase a painting or drawing the artist retains the copyright, unless specifically arranged otherwise.
