About The Pencil Pet Portrait Commission of Violet and Gill
The portrait of Violet and Gill was absolutely wonderful to create for my client Marcella, who is based in San Francisco. Marcella commissioned the portrait of Violet and Gill as a Christmas present for her parents. She also commissioned a drawing of her sister’s English Setter, Rooney, and her own Cocker Spaniel, Charlie.
Marcella commissioned the portrait of Violet and Gill at 16 x 12 size, which is a good size for a double dog portrait head study. It allows me to create plenty of detail in the face and features. Both dogs were looking right at us in the photos that Marcella took, so it really engages the viewer. Marcella and her family loved the portraits, and you can see photos and testimonials below.
