Welcome to my latest horse pencil portrait montage! This pencil portrait was commissioned by William who emailed to ask if I would be able to create a montage pencil portrait of his partners horse called Locksie.
William commissioned the drawing to give as a wonderful gift to his wife Annabel on their wedding day in April 2018. William emailed me lots of lovely photos of Locksie along with photos of their cat and two Jack Russell dogs which he wanted included within the portrait.
He chose to have a montage portrait so that it could depict all of their pets, along with a portrait of Locksie standing in front of a barn. Also one of Annabel jumping with Locksie. All of the photos William chose have true meaning to himself and his wife Annabel. It will make a beautiful gift on his wedding day, and also something to treasure for many years to come.
The portrait was an 18 x 24 montage pencil drawing. William emailed when he saw the finished portrait and I have added it below.
Hi Melanie
I absolutely love it and I’m sure Annabel will to!! Thank you very much it’s better than I imagined it to be.
Look forward to hearing from you
Thanks again
Will

Horse Pencil Portrait Montage – Photos
I often find my pencil portrait scans are quite harsh, not a good representation of the finished drawings. So I like to take photos of my artwork on our plan chest in the studio.
We have plenty of light coming through our windows both sides of the studio and this really helps for taking photos of our work. I always add my pencils on the drawings to help give scale to the portraits.
Horse Pencil Portrait Montage – Framed
The portrait was framed using a plain pine wood frame which works beautifully with my drawings. The richness and warmth of the wood tones are absolutely lovely. It has a double mount too which adds interested and emulates the detail on the edge of the frame well too. I hope you like the photos below.

You are very talented and understand the bone and muscle structure intuitively. I was an artist myself until my eyesight let me down and I recognise brilliance when I see it. Well done, perfect!
Thank you so much for your lovely comments on my pencil portrait of Locksie. That is so kind of you to say. I am so sorry to hear about your eyesight. I really hope that you have found other creative outlets to have fun with and enjoy. Sending very best wishes from us both here! Melanie and Nicholas x
