How I Create Digital Artwork Using Traditional Methods

Alongside my traditional oil paintings, I also create hand-drawn digital artwork using an iPad and Apple Pencil. Although the medium is digital, the process is entirely traditional.

Choosing the Right Medium: Oil, Pencil or Digital

Choosing the Right Medium: Oil, Pencil or Digital

Commissioning a portrait is a personal experience, and choosing the right medium can make a big difference to how your artwork feels.

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.

BESPOKE PORTRAITURE COMMISSIONS

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.
