Animal Portraits

Watercolour Pet and Animal Portraits

Capture the character and charm of your pet in a timeless watercolour portrait, lovingly hand-painted.

Working from your own photographs, I create detailed, expressive portraits on beautiful Aquabord™ panels – offering a lasting tribute to the pets and animals you love. Each piece is built up in delicate layers of watercolour, enhancing colour and depth, before being sealed with a protective wax to preserve the painting for years to come. The artwork will be ready to hang, with no need to display behind glass. There are also various framing options I can discuss with you.

A Portrait as Unique as Your Pet

Every painting is created with care, precision, and a focus on personality. I work closely with you throughout the process to ensure a result that feels truly personal.

How It Works

  1. Get in Touch
    Start by sending me a message to discuss size, pricing, timescales, and any ideas you have. I’ll also guide you on choosing the best reference photos.
  2. Book Your Slot
    A 50% deposit secures your commission. Once confirmed, you’ll send high-quality photographs of your pet.
  3. Composition & Approval
    I will select the best image and plan the composition. You’ll receive a layout sketch or reference for approval before painting begins.
  4. Progress & Feedback
    When the portrait is about near completion, you’ll receive a preview image. You can suggest any minor changes to help capture the perfect likeness.
  5. Final Payment & Delivery
    Once approved, the remaining balance (plus postage) is due before dispatch. Artwork is securely packaged and can be shipped within the UK or internationally.
