Alison Croft completed the Pet Portraits Diploma Course a few years ago and passed with flying colours. She received a distinction for her final set of work and high marks throughout her course. We have added Alison’s work here on the blog previously and these are a few more from when she was on the course.<\/p>\n

The first painting below of two dogs was from an assignment to combine three photographs together and paint them. The key here is to create a painting where the viewer wouldn’t know that three separate reference photos had been used. So in this instance two separate photos of dogs and a different photo for a background were used. For commissioning pet portrait artists this task is something of the norm. Artists are required to create a scene with cleints pets, often joining a number of photos together and keeping everything realistic and natural. Alison has created a wonderful scene here, the dogs look and feel as they were sitting together at the time, even down to the shadow on the right hand dogs chest. The natural daylight and sunshine on them matches the bight natural scene behind. Much goes into creating a painting like this, a lot of behind the scenes work that perhaps the viewer may not realise.<\/p>\n

All three of Alison’s paintings and drawing here are wonderful and we hope that you like them too! If you would like check out our Pet Portrait Diploma Course<\/a>, head on over to our website to find out more.<\/p>\n
