Portrait Artists

Skye Walsh and Dan Walsh, a husband and wife team, are well-known Canadian artists. They live and work in their studio on 23 acres of wilderness outside of Peterborough.

Skye has been doing professional portraits in pastels since the early eighties. She was the resident artist for the Eaton Centre when it first opened in Toronto and was also the official portrait artist for the Miss Teen Canada pageant.

Dan has been a professional cartoonist, caricaturist and illustrator for almost two decades. His work hangs in thousands of homes across Canada and around the world. His cartoons and caricatures have been published in newspapers and magazines, and used by Hallmark Cards for their signature line. Dan is also an illustrator for childrens' books.

Send us photographs of husbands, wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, relatives, friends, children, babies, teens, business colleagues, or of pet dogs, cats, horses, and we'll provide you with full-size pastel portraits or caricatures that you'll treasure forever.

Ever wondered how artists make those faces look so good? Always wanted to be able to draw a decent face yourself? We reveal how it's done in our Drawing the Human Face course called "The Secret of Drawing a Face."
