Title: Friends with Dogs – Jack Russell, Reggie

Jack Russel, Reggie

All my dog pictures are influenced by my love of dogs and  my dog loving friends. As well as asking friends, I also stop on my walks, asking if I can take photographs of peoples dogs for inspiration, Drawing a dog is a challenge, but the results have been viewed with a very positive reaction. It’s great to capture the personalty of the dog. The dogs are placed so that they look happy in their environment, plus I draw a space that depicts the taste and personality of the dog’s owner.

I have acquired skills and mastered them over my years of practice. The work is built up with many layers and can take hours to complete with a lot of patience. Line, shape, form, space, colour and texture are equally important in each piece of work. My background and experience in painting , printmaking, illustration, design and computer skills has helped me acquire the building blocks to creative a unique work of art.
