He stands at his easel with his oil paints and brushes and creates portraits for clients just like the painting below.

About the Commission of 'Newman'

Dog portraits reference photos

Heather Bristow (USA) contacted us to commission an oil painting of their dog Newman. Heather actually said... 'My husband has been asking for a portrait from you for years!' We were thrilled to hear this and excited to work with them on the painting of Newman.

Heather emailed us a number of photos of Newman, along with some live photos form her iPhone which we could see moving shots of Newman and their family. There was one photo that stood out to us and that was the photo of Newman on the left. Nicholas was inspired by the lighting and the look of the whole composition. It would make for a stunning paintings and Heather agreed.

The portrait was traditionally hand painted in oils on linen canvas at 18 x 14 size, which was a really lovely size for the portrait, to get a good amount of detail within Newman's face. We have added some close up photos below of the oil painting with Nicholas's hand and brush, scroll down to see more....


Hi Melanie and Nicholas,
It looks wonderful! Jason is going to love it!!
THANKYOU!!
Sincerely,
Heather

Dog portrait in detail

Below is a close up photo of the beautiful Newman, with Nicholas's hand in with his brush to help give scale to the painting. The detail in Newman's eye is beautiful and you can even see the reflection of the window he was looking out of, in his eyes.
