Time-Lapse Videos

If you’re curious about my process, I often create a time-lapse video to go with my paintings.  This shows every step, and every brushstroke, from start to finish.

Some of my favourite videos are below…

YouTube Video UCr4WG2zkddXF4AO1G4EQIog_6130UJkj6xQ Here's my latest painting of a Eurofighter Typhoon during take-off. 

As you'll see, the painting went through quite a few changes during its creation, especially with the background. That's the great thing about painting digitally, it gives so much scope to change and hone any element to get it 'just so'. 

PLEASE LIKE & SUBSCRIBE - IT REALLY HELPS. THANKS 🙂

It’s been a while since I last posted a time-lapse video, so I’ve got a lot of catching up to do. 
To start, here’s an exceptionally cute King Charles pup, painted in oils.

Here's the time-lapse video of a recent pet portrait commission of Bonnie the sprocker. 

As you can see, I had a hard time trying to decide on a background, but I got there in the end! That's the beauty of digital painting, you can experiment and chop and change at will, and at no extra cost, only time. 
Not only that, but Bonnie's feet were hidden by a very thick rug/carpet. So rather than risk guessing and getting it wrong, what was originally going to be a full body portrait got turned into a head and shoulders one instead.

Here's the time-lapse video for one of my latest pet portrait commissions. Meet Frankie the Cockerpoo. 

He looks so regal, so as a shout out to all of those majestic stag paintings, I've titled this painting "Monarch Of The Rock"

Hahnemühle German Etching Paper

This heavyweight paper has a slightly warm base tone and a strong mottled texture. It creates a print with strong colours and deep blacks that feel rich and high in contrast. This is due to the texture of the paper enabling it to hold more ink and capture the light. The German Etching is one of our heavier weight Giclée art printing papers. With its weight and strong texture, this paper gives an artwork a handmade crafted feel. Hahnemüle German Etching is a robust Giclée paper, meaning it doesn’t tend to fray as much at the edges.

Submitting Your Photos

In a nutshell, the more a photo shows the true fur, colour and character of your pet, in the highest clarity and resolution possible, the more chance I’ll have of capturing your pet’s true likeness.

It’s rare that I ever refuse a commission due to poor reference photos, but do please bear in mind that the more detailed the photo is, the more detailed the painting can be.

With that in mind, here are a few tips which will help when choosing/taking photos of your pet to send to me:

  • Photographs taken outside or by a large window are the best as they’ll avoid unnatural lighting and colouring of your pet.
  • Try to avoid a really sunny day as the sun will create big shadows on your pet. This in turn can make certain details hard to see or cause your pet to squint if it’s looking into the sun. The best sort of day for taking photographs is an overcast, bright day.
  • Take photographs of your pet at their level. This will avoid any distortion and unnatural poses. For a head and shoulder portrait, a 3/4 pose often works best, rather than being completely face or side-on. However, if you want a slightly quirky pose that’s ok too. At the end of the day, go with what best shows off your pet’s character.
  • Try to get as close to your pet as possible and fill the camera’s viewfinder. This will ensure you get more of the subject than the background. Backgrounds can be added, but your pet is the focus and the most important part of the photo.
  • Try and keep your pet in focus as this will give the maximum amount of detail and make painting the portrait easier as I can pick out the individual markings and details that make up your pet’s character.
  • What camera? In all honesty, it doesn’t really matter. Phone cameras have become so good in recent years that it’s often difficult to tell pictures taken with them apart from those taken with a “proper” SLR camera. Whatever you use, make sure any photos are full resolution, and it’s worth taking as many photos as possible.
  • If you can’t get your pet to sit still, try having a friend with you to tempt them with a treat or similar while you take the photo. Don’t force it. If your pet gets restless take a breather and try again later. Above all, make it fun for both you and your pet. This will help to ensure a more natural response from them.
  • If you think you’ve taken or found the perfect photo but there’s a part of your pet that’s obscured, or slightly out of the frame (a paw or ear tip for example), send me additional photos that show the missing part of your pet. I can never have too many photos to work from and it’ll mean that I won’t have to guess and risk getting it wrong.

If you have any further questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Thanks
