A Subject And His Personality

The challenge for portrait painters is pleasing the beholder as well as being able

to fix a typical posture on a canvas as well as other details that capture the subject and brings it to life even if it needs the use of the tiniest brush strokes. There is a female portraitist who is able to bring her subjects to life according to her clients. This is regardless of how her portfolio consists of sensitive, moody, aristocratic, happy, relaxed, and alert faces which are not human ones.

She wanted to try her skills in painting any kind of animal but what she specializes in is painting portraits involving dogs, cats, and horses. Where this tall and slender woman works is in the studio in her home located in the Maplewood section of the borough. What she thought of combining was her love for art and animals and this was about five years ago.

Her current project involves a horse running across a field and before she used to paint only the heads of the animals but now she paints them in their entirety. When it comes to making two or more of them, even if the typical portrait is of a single animal, they make for interesting compositions. Her clients tell other people about her painting their pets and then these people ask her to paint more than one of their pets.

Three wolfhounds were owned by a woman and she commissioned a portrait for each. In this case, each on is as different as people. Considering that she goes to dog and horse shows, she always has her business cards, camera, and portfolio. When it comes to animal portraiture, what is important is the knowledgeable use of a camera considering how you do not have a model that will not hold still and pose. After she takes pictures of her subjects using one or two rolls of film she will then use these for the portraits. In order to see the true color of its coat and to perceive its character, she finds it necessary to spend time with the animal and handle it if possible.

What she also likes to see is how the owner and the animal interact with one another. What she tries to capture as closely as possible is her view and their view of the same animal. The conformation of the animal should be presented correctly and when it comes to a portrait a key feature that conveys the personality of the animal is the expression in its eyes.

Especially with show animals, the conformation is very important. Knowledge of the correct conformation is something you should know apart from knowing a lot of animals. Possible to gain from animal portraiture is much satisfaction. At the unveiling, he was pleased enough not to be able to stop chuckling and shaking his head.

There are those who order them as gifts for animal lovers and there are some people who commission portraits of their own beloved pets. Experts say that there is often the thought that the portrait will be a special keepsake after the animal dies. In the past she has been able to paint the portrait of a deceased pet considering how photographs alone can be used by artists in creating these portraits considering that the pictures are good.

Pastels, oils, and pencil are her mediums of choice. Doing one project at a time is how she works. Artists find it difficult to work under pressure and so she does not provide any specific time frames. The load she can take per month is one to two portraits. On the weekends is when she gives herself a break from painting considering that she tries to paint everyday and because she knows that painting can take a toll on the painter she tries to take a break after finishing each painting.
