Louise Scott likes to work from good quality, sharply focused animal photographs.  The better the photograph you can provide her with, the better your completed portrait will be.  

Photographs can be sent by email or post.  The greatest of care will be taken with any photographs sent to The artist by mail and will be returned immediately.  

 

 

 

Louise Scott ideally requires a series of photographs as different images may show the different qualities of your animal.  For example one may show clear eyes, another a glossy coat or a favourite toy that perhaps you would like included in the portrait.

About your pastel painted pet portrait

The artist Louise Scott uses a mixture of pastel sticks and pencils working on sanded and textured pastel papers.  The papers have a “tooth” which holds the medium.  Louise employs a very different technique from  oils.  The colours are mixed on the paper itself by blending; overlaying; smudging; and teasing to attain the desired effect.

About your oil painted pet portrait

The portrait artist uses a palette board that originally belonged to her mother.  She has a vast range of brushes including bristle and sable hogg to achieve different effects in her painting.  Louise uses Palette knives for mixing colours on the board and for painting larger portraits
