About the Dog Pencil Portrait Commission of Ziggy, Winston & Alfie

Katie Rampton called me to discuss the possibility of commissioning a portrait of her three dogs, Ziggy, Winston, and Alfie, as a present for her husband's birthday. Katie wasn’t able to arrange the portrait in time for Matthew’s birthday, so I created a Gift Voucher pack for her to give him on his birthday.

Matthew contacted me a few days later to send his favorite photos of their dogs. I designed the portrait, which Matthew was pleased with. I drew both the Labrador and the Collie at 18 x 14 size, which was perfect for three head studies.

Scroll down to see photos of the portrait all framed and read some testimonials from Matthew and Katie too!

Happy Clients...

"Thanks, Melanie,
What makes me particularly happy is that my dog (the black lab) looks very noble.....this will annoy Katie intensely!!
Absolutely fabulous and meant a lot to me... thank you so much!!"

"Hi Melanie,
The picture looks amazing, and the frame is gorgeous! Thank you so much - you have captured the dogs so beautifully!
Can’t wait to see it."

- Katie
