I use coloured pencil and Conté pencil on tinted paper, and use photographs to work from. Do email me your own photographs of your pet, and I’ll be pleased to have a look. Tricks that work in getting really good photos of your dog or cat for example include: having two of you, one with the camera and the other holding a treat near the camera for attracting attention; taking the pictures from low down, animal height; avoiding Flash photography, or strong sunlight. I'm able to travel to meet your pet and take photos too.

Please phone any time with questions you might have.
