Dog Pictures & Prints

Of all the medium used in art today, one of the most painstaking and difficult tools to use is probably graphite - the humble pencil.

There are only a few artists who are truly creative with pencil and Mike Sibley  is undoubtedly one of the best artists to produce dog art pencil pictures in the UK today.  His attention to detail is second to none and every line is thought out before being committed to paper.  He is so passionate about his work, that he has published a book on how to draw called 'Drawing from Line to Life'.

Mike has always specialised in dog art pencil pictures, his love of different dogs, - working dogs , gun dogs and the very best of breeds have always inspired him to draw. His highly successful canine head studies became the UK's best-selling series of prints in the 1980's and maintain their popularity today.

Every dog art pencil picture has caught peoples' attention to their own adored dogs - oh that's just like my Sam or Joe etc.!

There are over fifty canine head studies available, however Mike has also produced some wonderful limited edition art pencil pictures, some of the larger images take over 700 hours to complete.

The range of prints includes the popular Border and Bearded collies, together with working dogs  like Springer spaniels, Weimaraners and Irish water spaniels.  Mikes work ranges from the wonderful, huge Newfoundlands, down to the diminutive Jack Russell, each image capturing the detail of the individual dog, the textures, light and shade.

Many shooting enthusiasts combine their love of sport with the help of man’s best friend.

There are a range of different breeds of working dogs used for hunting and shooting, namely the labrador, springer and cocker spaniels, these being the most popular for flushing out and retrieving game.

Gun dogs are trained to respond to their masters’ command and to observe the symmetry between man and dog is an extraordinary sight.  The skills of our artists who specialise in painting dogs enable these unique moments to be captured in their fine art working and sporting gun dog pictures.

Our portfolio of working and sporting gun dog pictures feature work by artists such as Adrian Smart, Brian Tovey, Phillip Allder, Lisa Parker, Simon Eardley and Mike Sibley, offering  a unique variety of artwork in different mediums including pencil, water colour, gouache, acrylic and oils.

Their compositions range from working gun dogs in a shooting environment with their masters, dogs actively retrieving game together with scenes at the end of a days’ shooting when the dogs are  eary and ready for home.  These and many more provide an extensive selection of working and sporting gun dog pictures for the shooting enthusiast.

Due to the popularity of our working and sporting gun dog pictures we have reproduced a range of them as greeting cards, and they have become very popular for men. 

Trade customers specialising in outdoor pursuits such as hunting, shooting and fishing may also find our greeting cards an additional product that they can offer to their customers.
