Spaniel Pencil Pet Portraits

The portrait of Jenny and Fern was an absolute delight! I love Spaniels so much, and drawing their beautiful faces was an amazing experience—even down to Fern’s little twitching nose. Scroll down to read more about how the commission came about and view photos of the framed portrait.

About the Commission of Jenny and Fern

My client, Gail, received a gift voucher from her workplace as a retirement gift, which was really lovely.

She contacted me straight away with photos of her two dogs, Jenny and Fern. The chocolate and tan Cocker Spaniel is Jenny, and the full chocolate-colored Spaniel is her mother, Fern. You can see a photo of Fern on the left.

Gail emailed me plenty of photos of Jenny and Fern, which she had taken specifically for the drawing. She sat them up on a bench to be more at their level. It’s always best to take photos looking straight at your dogs rather than looking down so you can capture their expressions and look directly into their eyes.

Client Feedback

"Hi Melanie,
I received the picture yesterday, all intact. Both my husband and I are very, very pleased with it. It looks amazing. Thank you again for everything—it has been well worth the wait!
Gail xx"
