Spaniel Pencil Pet Portraits

Welcome to my Spaniel pencil pet portrait of Jenny and Fern, a delightful mother and daughter duo of Cocker Spaniels. This portrait was commissioned by Gail here in the UK, who received one of my gift vouchers from her workplace as a leaving present. She sent over a selection of beautiful reference photos, including ones she took specially with Jenny and Fern sitting up on a bench. Scroll down to read more about how the commission came about and view photos of the framed portrait.

About the Commission of Jenny and Fern

My client, Gail, received a gift voucher from her workplace as a retirement gift, which was really lovely.

She contacted me straight away with photos of her two dogs, Jenny and Fern. The chocolate and tan Cocker Spaniel is Jenny, and the full chocolate-colored Spaniel is her mother, Fern. You can see a photo of Fern on the left.

Gail emailed me plenty of photos of Jenny and Fern, which she had taken specifically for the drawing. She sat them up on a bench to be more at their level. It’s always best to take photos looking straight at your dogs rather than looking down so you can capture their expressions and look directly into their eyes.
