This is the final scan of the Polar Bear oil painting. I used different lights and colors then the actual reference photo had, since I wanted to achieve a whole from the Polar Bears natural environment. Now its finally time for Gothia Cup and Holidays!!! Looking forward to it

This is the first stage of the oil painting of polar bear for Orsa Grönklitt. The first painting I created for them this year was the Leopard which have already been delivered. You can view the final scan along with the progress images in older posts.

Today I have been painting next stage of the two kittens, this is how far I got in the process.
Step three of kittens in oil
As you can see Samantha lives in a rough environment and that must be visible in her portrait as my client wished it to be that way. I will simplify the background a bit though and I’m still not cute sure how the final result will look, but I want to make it simple at the same time as everything is recognizable.
Now I will leave the painting to dry over the weekend. I will complete the Leopard oil painting next week so that what’s what I will be spending most of my working hours on next week.
Pet portraits in oil - step two
I have also been working on the oil painting of the four Cavalier Spaniels this week. The second layer of the entire painting has been painted and the base is now finished. Its good to create the best base possible which makes it easier to continue the work at a later stage. Well, the painting is far from finished, but I can’t wait to continue with it. I’m hoping to finish this painting before July. Its because many more layers will be added and I have to be realistic about how long it will take.

Leopard painting in progress
Today I have been working on the oil painting Robin and Tuffe. I added one more layer to the background first and later also painted one more layer of the subjects. This is only a draft so the hardest work is still left to be done. I think they look good already and the painting is hanging in my living room to dry.
Tomorrow I will be painting the German shepherd which I still haven’t completed. Well it was in no hurry so I worked on other portraits in between. It will be interesting how the finished portrait will look.

I have been sick for a few days, that’s why there wasn’t any progress updates for a while. I will be working harder this and next week because of that and upload new steps of the portraits I’m currently working on.
Today in the morning I went to the framer and photographed many frames I will be offering on my future website. I also went there with the painting of Hunter to see which frames would suit that portrait and found a really nice one. I will be sending the photo to the client later this evening.
Later on today, I started to sketch on the oil painting on linen canvas of Robin and Tuffe. The painting is in size 70 x 55cm. I know the client was eager to see the first step, so here it is. Hope you like it!

In my work in progress blog everyone can follow their portrait from the a simple sketch to a completed Pet, Family Portrait or Print. See also my latest completed website designs, logos and illustrations. If someone ordered a portrait, they are able to ask questions and make suggestions as I'm painting it. This benefit is of great value to me and my clients because they are constantly updated and it gives them a peace of mind.
