For her portrait, given the angle of the reference photograph, we opted for a square 12&#8243; x 12&#8243;. This meant she filled the paper and allowed for a nicer balance and composition compared to an A3 (11,7&#8243; x 16.5&#8243;).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4171 alignleft\" style=\"text-align: center;\" src=\"https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ABBIE-PORTRAIT-TO-POST-TW-298x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"516\" height=\"519\" srcset=\"https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ABBIE-PORTRAIT-TO-POST-TW-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ABBIE-PORTRAIT-TO-POST-TW-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ABBIE-PORTRAIT-TO-POST-TW-768x774.jpg 768w, https:\/\/petportraitsandwildlifeart.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/ABBIE-PORTRAIT-TO-POST-TW-1016x1024.jpg 1016w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 516px) 100vw, 516px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For pastels, I can work on a variety of paper colours and do a variety of background options.
