Dogs are more than just pets; they are family members. And as pet parents, we want to immortalise our furry friends' memories by capturing their adorable faces in a puppy portrait!
As a dog portrait artist, I have been creating beautiful artworks of our four-legged friends for years now. And among all the animal artworks I have made, these four dog breeds have become my best sellers – cocker spaniel, dachshund, Labrador, and cockapoo.
In this blog post, I will talk about how and why these dog portraits have become so popular.
1. Cocker Spaniel Artwork
Cocker spaniels are one of the cutest dog breeds out there. They have expressive eyes and floppy ears, making them incredibly photogenic. As a pet portrait artist, I often get requests for cocker spaniel drawings.
What sets them apart is their playful personality that shines through in every portrait. Recently, I had a client who wanted to gift a cocker spaniel artwork to her husband, who had always wanted one. She sent me a few pictures of their pet, and I created an artwork showcasing his goofiness!
Cocker spaniels are known for their big personalities and adorable floppy ears, making them a popular choice for dog portraits.
My cocker spaniel artwork captures their playful nature and unique features, making them a fan favourite. These make for great gifts for the cocker spaniel owner in your life or anyone who cherishes this very special breed!
2. Dachshund Artwork
Another popular dog breed amongst my clients is the fun loving Dachshunds. This cute and cuddly dog comes in a variety of shapes, sizes and fluffiness, but they all exude a full character that's endearing.
They are particularly known for their sausage-shaped bodies, which make for a great subject to draw or paint. My dachshund artwork showcases their cute features while capturing their hilarious personalities!
My sausage dog paintings make great gifts for any dachshund owners, and the playful artwork also adds a quirky, on trend touch to any room.
3. Labrador Painting
Labradors are one of the most popular dog breeds globally and for a good reason too. They are versatile, intelligent, and friendly dogs that make for great companions and family friends.
As a dog portrait artist, painting Labradors is always a pleasure as they are incredibly photogenic. And with their shiny fur and attentive eyes, it's easy to capture their friendly nature.
I create custom Labrador paintings that showcase their loyalty and lovable nature. These pet portraits make an excellent gift for anyone who loves the breed, especially those with a special connection to their furry friend.
4. Cockapoo Artwork
Wow Cockapoos are popular!
Cockapoos are one of my most requested breeds and lets face it, they are incredibly cute and adorable. They are a cross between cocker spaniels and poodles, and they come in a variety of colours, making them extremely fun to paint.
Everyone is different! My custom cockapoo wall art beautifully integrates their distinct features while showcasing their fluffy and cute nature. It's the perfect gift for anyone who loves Cockapoos and wants a unique and modern pet portrait of their furry companion.
As a dog portrait artist, it's always an honour to capture our furry friends' loving and playful personalities in a painting or drawing. The love and trust that pets and owners share is a beautiful thing, and being able to reflect that through my art is a privilege.
In my experience, the most popular dog breeds for custom pet portraits are those that have a distinct personality and unique traits.
And among those breeds, cocker spaniels, dachshunds, Labradors, and cockapoos have a special place in my client's hearts. If you're planning to get a custom pet portrait, don’t forget to sign up to my waiting list, as I only accept a certain amount of commissions every year!
