About the Artwork
Commissioned portraits aim to capture more than a likeness; these pieces convey the essence and personality of your beloved pet or favorite animal.
Each piece is hand-drawn or painted by Bridget with extraordinary attention to detail.
Realistic drawings require 10, 15, even 25 hours to complete, which is accounted for in commission pricing. It is a labor of love!
The colored pencils used to create your piece are oil and wax-based pencils with lightfast pigment to ensure your piece remains vibrant for years to come.
All custom portraits are drawn on high-quality archival paper, pastelmat or drafting film.
