I create detailed, hand-drawn portraits of pets, horses, wildlife and people using graphite, coloured pencil and soft pastel.

Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form or email with your reference photos. I will discuss the size, medium and composition with you before confirming your booking.

Portraits are available in standard A4, A3 and A2 sizes. Custom sizes may be available on request.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email. We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.

Prices vary depending on size and detail. Please refer to the Commissions page for current pricing.

Clear, high resolution photos taken in natural light are best. The clearer the photo, the better level of detail I can include. It is a good idea to send more than one photo so I can get a good idea of the subject.

Commissions can take between 2 -4 weeks on average. If there is more than one subject, a commission can take a little longer. This will also depend upon the size of the piece and the medium used. Colour pencils require a lot of detail and layering of colour so usually take a little longer.
