UK BASED PET PORTRAIT ARTIST
PAINTING YOUR PETS EVERY DETAIL
Favouring watercolours, I paint pet portraits that are highly detailed and full of character, bringing your beloved pet to life on paper.

A RELIABLE AND TRUSTWORTHY PET PORTRAIT ARTIST
WHY YOU CAN TRUST ME TO PAINT YOUR PET PORTRAIT
I have been creating pet portraits for over 10 years, fine tuning my style of delicate but detailed watercolour paintings. I live in Lincolnshire. in the UK, but also send portraits internationally. In the past, I have had pet portrait commissions from various countries and renown cities such as Milan and New York!
When you commission me for a pet portrait, you can be assured that you will have an excellent experience from start to finish. I am friendly and more than happy to help with any questions you may have along the way. I will be constantly in touch with updates on your portrait as it progresses, which can be exciting to see, as your pet begins to come to life on paper.
PAINTING YOUR PETS TO PERFECTION
I aim to paint a true reflection of your pet whilst creating a beautiful piece of art to display in your home and cherish for years to come.
Being a self-confessed perfectionist, I am driven to ensure that each pet portrait is completed to a high standard and I won't be happy until I have achieved a true likeness to your beloved pet. I will be in touch throughout, with photo updates, so there is plenty of opportunity to communicate any changes you may want making to your pet portrait.
Perhaps you would like their eyes to be a different shade? Or the colour of their fur isn't quite right...
I will work with you to ensure you are happy with the final painting.
I use watercolours to paint your pets fur layer by layer, building up texture that looks almost soft enough to touch. Take a look at my past pet portraits to get a feel for my style.
Picture your pet painted beautifully in watercolours!
100% HAPPY CUSTOMERS
I have received some wonderful feedback from those who have commissioned me for a pet portrait painting in the past:
"We've all been crying as it's so much like him...
Very capturing portrait, you have extraordinary talent"
"Jo has done an amazing job turning a blank canvas into a lifelike watercolour of my two buns, from the sparkle in Thors eyes to Hercys grumpy face, she has got the detail just right. I gave her a picture taken from a mobile and what we received was nothing short of spectacular. She was always in contact and incredibly professional throughout"
If you need more reassurance that I will paint a realistic pet portrait whilst giving you a great experience, then please take a look through my testimonials page.

HOW DO I ORDER A PET PORTRAIT?
DECIDE IF MY PET PAINTING STYLE SUITS YOUR PET AND YOUR HOME
Please take some time to look through my website and decide whether or not my style is the one for you and your pet. There are lots of pet portrait artists out there, and lots of different styles. My paintings are delicate yet detailed rather than being bold or abstract. I paint a true reflection of your pet, in a medium which is truly stunning.
I use professional watercolour paints on high quality, archival paper to create a detailed pet portrait full of charisma and charm.
PHOTOGRAPHS OF YOUR PETS
Once you have decided that you would like to commission me for a pet portrait, the first thing you will need to do is take some high quality photographs of your pet. If you are choosing from old photographs, then please choose ones with as much detail as possible. However, if necessary, I can work from poorer quality images but it may be reflected in the outcome of the painting.
I will look through your chosen photographs and approve any that I can work from. You can then choose which ones you would like your portrait to be based on. Photographs should be taken in good lighting, preferably outdoors and close up so that the head and shoulders or full body fill the frame. See the link below for detailed information on how to achieve the best photographs for a pet portrait.
WHICH SIZE PET PORTRAIT WOULD YOU LIKE?
Small, Medium or Large?
I offer 3 different size options in my watercolour paintings. Depending on the space in your home, or how impactful you want your painting to be, you will need to consider the various sizes I have to offer.
Small 6" x 6" Head Only (Single pet)
Medium 8" x 12" Head and shoulders or full body (Single pet)
Large 12" x 16" Head and Shoulders or full Body (More than one pet)
Pet portrait prices vary for different sized paintings. Please visit my 2024 price list for more information.
