This portrait of the beautiful Black Labrador Szarek was painted using an absolutely perfect reference photo. The photographer took the photo down at Szarek’s eye level, he was relaxed, in natural light and I could clearly see every detail of his face.

Step 5: Final OK before delivery

I will send you a photo of the portrait before framing, to make sure you are happy. If you’d like the portrait be a surprise, we can skip this stage.
