HORSE PORTRAITS

The process of commissioning a portrait of your horse is very straightforward.  The first step is for me to travel to meet your horse so I can understand their conformation and colouring, and get to know your horses character and find out a little more about them. I take photographs so I can work from these in the studio.  

I prefer to work in pastel for my horse  portraits, pastel allows me to build up a rich layers of colour, enabling me to capture the complicated colours and  textures of your horses coat and mane.  My aim is to let the character of my subject to shine through, and leap off the page towards you.

 The size of your finished portrait will vary, but as a rough guide an average portrait will measure 55cm by 65cm.

Your portrait will be finished framed and ready to hang on the wall.  I do all my own framing, using a variety of wooden frames, hand-painted to complement your portrait, with a wash-line mount. I am very happy to discuss the framing with you in more detail at the time of commission.
