Outdoor oil sketch: child with pet portrait



Here is a sketch for a painting I'm working on (it's a bit of a washed out photo, I will update the photo soon). It's really nice to personalize children's portraits with pets. We decided for the finished piece to leave out the collar on the dog. Grover, a Portuguese Water dog, is my first dog to sit for me and did his best!

To go to my Children's Portrait Commissions Gallery
