Gift Illustrations
Original pen, pencil and watercolour home and building portraits, scene illustrations and more, all drawn and hand painted, just for you to tell your story or capture a moment in time, that make wonderful, thoughtful wedding, birthday, anniversary and new home gifts.
How it Works
1. Please supply a photograph or links to images that you would like to be included within the illustration, as well as any wording (e.g. names or dates) you may wish to be added and any other personal touches you would like included.
2. With this information, I will sketch out rough layout ideas & send them to you to confirm you are happy with the design before I begin the final illustration.
3. The final artwork will be drawn directly onto high-quality watercolour paper and will include the personal touches you're requested. I will begin by sketching the outline, then inking in the detail before gradually building up the colour using watercolour and pencils.
4. Once the illustration is completed I will send you a final proof of the image to confirm you're happy before shipping. You final illustration will be posted out tracked within 2 working days of completion.
Size & Timeframes
The finished illustration will be between A5 to A4 in size depending on your requirements, drawn and painted directly on to an A4 sheet of watercolour paper.
If you require alternate sizings or dimensions for your piece, or wish to discuss other options that may better suit your brief, then drop me a message and we can talk through your ideas.
Each gift commission is hand drawn and painted and takes roughly 5 days to complete depending on the level of detail required so please allow roughly 2 weeks for your commission to be completed and shipped.
Pricing
Illustrations start from £150 + postage for a single venue and from £250 + postage for multiple buildings or intricate scenes.







Kind Words
“Chris did an absolutely beautiful job of capturing our local pub which held lots of special memories for me & my partner.
HIGHLY recommend this incredible artist”
— Kayliegh Lockett
“Asked Chris to do a drawing of my sister's wedding venue for her wedding present.
Not only was the end product absolutely stunning but Chris kept me updated all the way through the process and confirmed everything with me down to the smallest detail. I knew the final piece was going to be amazing even before I saw it just from how professional but personal and friendly Chris was from the word go.
Would definitely recommend for any future project.”
- Ryan B
“So happy with the illustration I commissioned.
Chris was brilliant during the whole process and regularly checked in with me weather I was happy with the progress of the illustration and if I wanted to change anything.
He captured my vision and met the brief to perfection! Looking forward to work with him again.”
