Commissioned Dog Portraits by Diane Williams
I love to capture the personality of the animal, the essence of who they are to you.
Through brush and vibrant color, I portray the inner spirit of the dog, creating a meaningful piece that speaks for the animal.

Photos
Good quality clear, in-focus photos to work from.
The more clear the eye, nose, and mouth are, the easier it is to portray the physical characteristics of your pet.
Good light, not too many shadows.
I work from one main photo for the pose and will use details from other photographs if needed.
Taking photos
Three tips:
- Get up close
- Eye level to your pet
- Use natural light from a window or outdoors
Have your camera or smartphone handy over a few days and take photos when you can.
