PRIVATE COMMISSIONS
Commissioning a piece of art is a very personal experience. For Clemmie, understanding you, your connection to the subject, and the emotion that you want to encapsulate, is intrinsic to the preparation. Clemmie aims to captures everything you adore about your family member, your cat or dog – their quizzical expressions, their adoring gaze, their unique character, their best angle.
Find out more about each of my commission processes below. To begin a commission please get in touch through the contact page to discuss your ideas and requirements.
Pet portraiture in oil
Commissioning a dog portrait in oils is a personal, collaborative experience. I want every painting to capture not just a likeness, but the character and spirit of your pet. Below is the process I follow to ensure each piece is thoughtful, accurate, and unique.
Pencil Portrait Commissions
My pencil drawings follow the same thoughtful, collaborative process as my oil portraits, but with a slightly shorter turnaround time.
Digital family artwork
I also create digital portraits of families, children, and animals. These pieces offer wonderful flexibility with composition and style, while still capturing personality and warmth.
PET PORTRAITURE PORTFOLIO
This gallery introduces my portraiture work, created through oil paint, pencil and charcoal, and hand-drawn digital illustration. Moving between traditional and digital mediums allows me to explore expression, mood, and individuality in different ways.
FAQ’s
Below you’ll find all of the frequently asked questions I recieve.
If you have a question that isn’t answered here, please feel free to get in touch.
Commission availability varies. If you’re interested in a custom piece, please get in touch through the contact page to discuss your ideas and requirements.
My traditional pieces are created using materials such as oil paint, pencil, and charcoal, resulting in textured, physical artworks. My digital pieces are hand-drawn on my iPad, allowing for a different style and finish while still maintaining a hand-crafted feel.
The time required depends on the medium and complexity of the piece. Oil paintings typically take longer due to layering and drying time, while drawings and digital works may take less time.
