- Get a LOT of detail where it matters (face).
- Go more impressionistic where it doesn't.
- Love backgrounds, foregrounds, and putting them all together.
- Enjoy composing from a variety of photos.
- "Fix" photo problems like flash (I hate when artists dutifully draw or paint in camera shortcomings)
- Really think about the pet or child and try to bring their personality out.
- Get each piece critiqued by at least one other artist for feedback.
- Genuinely love the interaction between myself and my customer. I LOVE chatting with others! I have no snobbery about being "the artist" who knows best. If you want something, let's discuss!
Tweet about me, email your friends about me, Facebook your friends about me, link to my main pet portrait site: http://robinzebley.com/. and my new Artist Robin Zebley Page: http://tiny.cc/ep8kK . By the way, I'm running a contest on my new facebook page and if you Fan me, you have 2 ways to win!
Any other suggestions for "getting the word out" are most welcome!! I do have flyers in vets offices nearby, and if you'd be willing to take some to your vet or groomer, let me know and I'll send you some! I truly truly appreciate all of the help! Robin
