How I Create Your Dog's Portrait

Beginning with your favourite pet photos

I work from your favourite pet photos, so you can commission a portrait of your dog, even if your not local. A clear, expressive image helps me bring out their personality. I'll happily help you choose the right photograph, offering advice on which ones will result in the best portrait of your beloved dog.

Capturing their likeness and personality

From the characterful expression in their eyes to the texture of their fur, I hand-paint the details that make your dog unique. Each portrait reflects both their appearance & personality in versatile watercolours.

Hand-painted in my UK home studio

Each portrait is carefully created in Lincolnshire using high-quality watercolour paints & paper for vibrant, lasting results. I will send you regular updates as your dog portrait comes to life, involving you in the creative process from start to finish.

Carefully packaged & delivered

Your portrait is securely packaged to arrive safely. I deliver across the UK & internationally - just contact me for an up-to-date quote if ordering from abroad.

Dog Portraits: FAQs

Here are a few quick answers to common questions about my dog portraits. If there’s anything else you’d like to know, just ask — I’m always happy to help.

Absolutely! I adore dogs and it's such a pleasure capturing different breeds in my watercolour dog portraits. From tiny Yorkshire Terriers to expressive Irish Wolfhounds, I hand-paint each dog portrait with care to capture the breeds unique features.

Yes, of course! I can combine multiple dogs into a single painting, even if they’re not in the same photo. I’ll make sure they look natural together while keeping each dog’s personality.

Absolutely! I started my watercolour journey painting landscapes before em-barking on pet portraits. If you have a favourite spot for walking your dog, I can paint them in that setting — I just need good reference photos.

Yes - and it's such a nice touch! Including toys, blankets, or other special items is a great way to show your dog’s personality. Just let me know what’s important to include when you send your photos.
