Jack Russell Pencil Pet Portrait

Welcome to my Jack Russell Pencil Pet Portrait in pencil of Holden. Lizbeth has been a returning client of mine for a number of years, and this is one of my favourite commissions of her Jack Russell, Holden. Sadly, Holden passed away, and Lizbeth and I designed a beautiful portrait in his memory. Scroll down to learn more about the commission and the perpetual trophy for her dog club!

About the Jack Russell Pencil Portrait Commission of Holden

Welcome to my Jack Russell pencil portrait of Holden. This very special montage drawing was commissioned by Lizbeth, a returning client in the USA, as a memorial portrait after Holden sadly passed away. Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of drawing several of Lizbeth’s dogs and for Holden, we wanted to capture the many moments and memories that made him so loved. Working from a beautiful selection of reference photos, I designed a montage layout showing Holden in various poses and activities. The final portrait was hand-drawn in graphite pencil at 16 x 12 inches, and later used as the image for a perpetual trophy presented at the Canadian National Jack Russell Terrier Trial. Scroll down to read more about the drawing.

I was thrilled to have the opportunity to draw Holden at various stages of his life, capturing him in different activities.

Lizbeth emailed me many lovely photos, and we spent a few weeks working together to create the perfect design. Designing a montage takes time, as the composition needs to be balanced and well thought out. Once we finalized the design, I drew the portrait at **16 x 12 inches**.

In addition to the portrait, Lizbeth commissioned a **perpetual trophy** featuring a print of Holden's portrait. Read more about this incredible honor below.

The print features Holden’s main portrait alongside a sketch of him diving into a burrow. The framed piece includes an engraved plaque for the winners, inscribed annually.
