S9E04 | How to Add Digital Painting to Pet Photography Business with Lesley Davidson

In the midst of 2020 lockdown, going a little bit crazy with nothing to do (and no way to service my clients), I thought it would be a brilliant idea to learn how to do digital painting. It seemed like the perfect extra service to offer my clients - gorgeous artwork that could be created even after their pets had passed. Excitedly, I bought myself a wacom tablet and enrolled in a digital painting course, ready to become the next Vincent Van Dog. Well. It was not nearly as easy as I had hoped it would be - that skill takes some serious practice! I’m a little embarrassed to admit that after a month or so, I put down wacom pen in defeat. My dreams of offering digital painting as a secondary revenue stream to my clients were quietly retired - until we heard about Lesley Davidson and her ghost painting service with the Painterly Portrait. Tune into this latest interview episode to find out everything you want to know about digital painting for pet photographers - whether it’s Lesley’s best tips for learning yourself, how you can hire a “ghost painter” if (like me) you’re not a digital painter and in the extended episode we brainstorm different ways that you could successful integrate this service into your existing business model.
