Horse Portraits Commission Information
Portrait: 'Fynn and Harry' with Plain Background.
Size & Medium: 22 x 16 Oils on Cotton Canvas.
Commissioned from: UK.
This is a horse portrait of Fynn and Harry which was commissioned by Tina from the UK as a gift for a friend. Nick painted both Fynn and Harry on cotton canvas in oils to the size of 20 x 16 in 2005. I have added a few of the stages Nick took when painting the portrait, some final scans and close up details, some reference photos we use and a lovely gestational from Tina. I hope you enjoy this page of information and if you would like to commission us to paint your pet don't hesitate to email us at any time.
The Horse Portrait in Progress
We try to make sure we take a number of photos of the portrait during the day and display them on our portraits in progress blog for our clients to see. We have daylight easel lamps which allow us to see the painting in pure natural light, and sometimes this lighting effect the photos that we take. This can account for colour differences between each stage and the final scan below.
The Oil Painting with Detail
We scan the majority of our artwork here in the studio, we have an epson scanner, or for the very large paintings we take photographs of the artwork using a Sony DSLR camera, a tripod and two diffused photography lights. Our scans and photographs are always perfect quality if clients require giclee prints of their hand painted portrait for friends or family.
Client Horse Portraits Reference Photos
Our clients email a range of photographs for us to work with, we use one for the main pose of the portrait and others for detail, backgrounds etc The photographs depicted below may vary in colour to the finished painting above. This can be due to the scanned oil painting being slightly different to the original or often clients give us more than one photo to work from i.e. one for the pose and another for colouring.
Client Comments and Feedback
We are always thrilled to read our clients emails, we are in touch with clients via email and sometimes via telephone, skype and texts throughout the entire process. Clients also leave us messages on our portraits in progress blog when they are watching their portrait in progress and also comment on our facebook page too. We try to add snippets of their emails here for you to read, plus you can see more photos of happy clients with the portraits in our client feedback section and on our main pet portraits website feedback section too.

Hi Nick, Fantastic picture - you definitely have caught them both to a tee. I'm sure the painting will take pride of place...Tina
-----------------------------------
Just to let you now that the picture arrived safely today. I have to say that it looks even better in "real life" and I was tempted to keep it for myself! Maybe in the future I will commission another for me - you never know. Incidentally I run the website for our local riding club - approx 200 members and a few more visitors to the website so I wondered if you would like me to put a link to your website on mine, just let me know. Thanks again Tina |
