Jenny

Sometimes a client approaches me and asks me to depict a pet that has sadly passed away. In these cases I ask them to send me as many photographs as they can. Even though none of the photographs may be an ideal portrait, I can pick out the best ones and use different aspects from each. For example, the preparatory sketch shown here is the base for a painting which uses a number of images. While the main angle of Jenny's head is taken from one, I'll use two other photos to help me fill in the details which were lost in shadow in the first photograph.
