———————————–
I finished the Pet Portrait Diploma a little while ago and thought I would let you know how I am doing.
The course was definitely one of the most satisfying things I have done in my life. My confidence as an artist has grown hugely since the course began. I remember worrying that I didn’t have an artistic ‘style’ and being permanently daunted by other people’s work.
My new year’s resolution was to get set up to start selling commissioned pet portraits. I set up a Facebook page and website. I also had posters and business cards printed which I have been leaving at shops, vets and boarding kennels. I have a busy life with work and kids, but every week I try to do at least one thing that gets my art seen by more people.
I’m attaching a commission I have just finished – her name is Ella and she is done with water-soluble oils on linen. I am having discussions about three further commissions at the moment – it’s early days for my little enterprise but so exciting! Painting animals is definitely my Happy Place 🙂
I can’t thank the London Art College enough – it has been THE best start for me!!
Warm regards
