PetPortrait+Paddle

Great concept! Mix and match PetPortrait + Paddle.
As like all paddle projects we'll select the paddle type based on the design created from your reference image. I'll print it and overlay it onto the paddle to ensure it's the right fit!

We'll explore options and agree on the basic layout and colours. Not all choices can be made upfront - sometimes they evolve as the painting is done.

We'll review the details as I progress with the painting to confirm I'm on track to meeting your expectations. Then we'll do a final review before I varnish the paddle. ​​

One-of-a-kind paddles, individually designed,
​sketched ​and painted in acrylics
My paddles are sourced locally from seconds; giving each paddle another chance to shine. They look beautiful hanging indoor in any home or cottage. The paddle styles vary from the Voyageur, Beaver Tail or Otter Tail paddle. The wood types may be Ash, Birch, Maple or Cherry. Most paddles are approximately 52" in length and 5-6 inches in width. 
The Process
The ProcessWhat is consistent is the process I used for creating each paddle. I select the paddle I'm going to use based on the design created from a reference image. My reference images may be sourced from a customer, my own collection of photos or from a hand picked group of Photographers that I follow and work with online. Once my digital design is completed I print it and overlay it onto the paddle. Once I feel the look is right for what I want to achieve I start preparing the paddle. This involves sealing the wood first. Then applying two coats of Gesso. Once dry I sketch the design by hand. I use acrylics as my painting medium. Once complete, I'll paint the back of the paddle black, sign it & give it a name. Then I apply two coats of clear varnish. It is a lengthy process. Each step needs to dry before moving forward to the next step. The end result is always rewarding.
