Watercolour Rabbit Portraits

Rabbits can be a little tricky to photograph, so take your time and try a few different shots. Natural daylight works best because it shows their true colours and markings clearly. If possible, get down to their eye-level or gently place them on a table so you can photograph them more easily.

Here's what helps most:

• Soft, natural light (near a window or outdoors) - avoid flash.

• Eye-level photos to capture their expression and shape.

• Several angles such as straight on, slight side angle, and a close up of the face.

• Clear, unfiltered images so I can see details accurately.

You're always welcome to send me a selection of photos, and I'll happily help you choose the one that will make the best portrait. 

Yes, absolutely! Even if you don't have a photo of your rabbits together, I can paint them side by side in a natural, balanced composition. Simply send separate photos of each rabbit, and I'll help position them so the final watercolour portrait looks harmonious and captures each of their personalities.

Yes, I can. Memorial portraits are a meaningful way to remember a much-loved rabbit. You can send any photos you have, and I'll help you choose the best reference. My aim is to create a gentle, expressive watercolour that honours their personality and keeps their memory close.

Definitely! If you'd like a portrait that includes your rabbit alongside another pet - such as a guinea pig or cat - simply send me clear photos of each and I'll create a harmonious composition with balanced proportions.
