indi_dog Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 OK! After a long hiatus, I am back into pet portraiture full-swing. What I'm building at the moment, is a folio full of doggy "life drawings". I have plenty of paintings done from photographic reference, but being that I tend to give away all the life drawings I do without photographing them, I've decided to build a "proper" folio :-) Or at least one that's got pictures in it! I'm looking for a bunch of doler's (or non doler's), who are happy to come for a meet up and sit for around half an hour and let me sketch their dog. You can take your art home (there's no charge!); my demands are simple - I need a photo of the finished piece! And hey, if you're artistically inclined too, and we can get enough people interested, bring your sketch pad. We can make a grand day of it. I'm based around Melbourne, so my suggestion is a dog friendly park. Expressions of interest? If you'd like to first see some of my pieces, have a quick look here: http://www.dolforums.com.au/topic/222328-watercolour-pencils-inktense/ Or here: http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Kats-Art/213994388627334 (these ones are done from photographic reference) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmoothieGirl Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 (edited) Yep, I'd be interested too. I'm so far off the artistic spectrum though that pencils run from me, so I'll just offer a model. Edited June 20, 2011 by SmoothieGirl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indi_dog Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Just popping my head in to add: the piccies on my website are finished paintings (they take me weeks to do - they're basically what I use to pay bills lol). I'll post an example later this evening of the type of sketches we'll be doing on the day :-) I'll sort out a date soon, and if anybody would like to add some suggestions on a location I'm open :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatsofatsoman Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I'd like to ask if you're open to offers for some more work? My wife's birthday is mid Sep and she absolutely adores one photo of our boy - I'd love to get a portrait of it done. Could you please PM me if you're interested.

indi_dog Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Thanks, guys After doing these on the side for the past six years, I've decided to devote a lot more time into them. I do love drawing I haven't set a date as such yet, just trying to gauge interest at the moment... I'll let you guys know when and where, and see if we can come up with dates and times that suit everybody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

indi_dog Posted June 20, 2011 Author Share Posted June 20, 2011 Excellent - does anyone have a preference on location? There are some nice dog parks around me, but I hope to pick somewhere central to everybody else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieGirl Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I quite like Newport Lakes dog park, its very large, close to Nik and I. There's a car park, toilets nearby and plenty of different settings if we want to find somewhere a bit quiet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ill bring GSP's LOL sure - or maybe we could have an en masse dol roadtrip I am interested in having my little x breed boy done he has loads of character. Do you draw other animals like bunnies and guinea pigs? I do indeed - the last two pocket critters I painted were of Cockatiels and a Bearded Dragon :-) I'd be interested too!
