Pet Portraits
Bespoke pet portraits hand-drawn using fine liners, watercolours, and pencils. Working from photographs and a few stories of your pet, I aim to capture the essence of their character that will be with you for years to come.
So whether you’re looking for the perfect gift for a loved one's birthday, Christmas or anniversary or just want to order your very own pet keepsake you’re in the right place.

About
Each commission is hand drawn, working from the different photos you supply and any stories you share about the subject/s that help me to capture their character.
During your commission, I will keep you updated at each stage of the portrait to ensure that you’re happy with the progress and that I’m capturing both a realistic physical representation and their unique character.
Each subject takes roughly between 12 - 16 hours to complete following this process, depending on the size and detail required. Allowing time for colour washes to dry fully and time to study the subject, I advise that portraits are usually completed within 10 - 14 days, ready to post out.
I generally work on A3 watercolour sheets and your portrait will be roughly A4 in size with a border around the edges to allow for framing. Alternative shapes and sizes are available for your portrait - please email me directly to discuss your requirements.
Your finished portrait will be shipped 1st Class tracked the next working day.
Single subject portraits £200 + postage (please email to discuss additional subjects/sizes).
What People Are Saying
"Chris is a very talented artist who offers a friendly service with great communication. Not only was I delighted with the pet portrait I ordered, but he also shared photos of the piece as a “work in progress” along the way. This was not only helpful to gauge when the portrait would be ready but was also really interesting and illustrated just how much work goes into his paintings.
The relative I purchased the portrait for as a gift was so pleased with the finished product it genuinely brought her to tears! I would not hesitate to use Chris again in the future and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to make use of his services."
— Simon
"Chris is always my first choice when I am looking for gifts for pet loving friends. The communication throughout each commission has been wonderful and builds great trust. My friends have treasured the portraits of their much loved animals and I know they hold pride of place in their homes.
I recommend Chris to everyone I know :-)"
— Jo
"I commissioned Chris to paint a couple of portraits of our cats as a surprise for my wife's 40th birthday and he did a stunning job. He's managed to portray their individual traits and temperaments perfectly. Wouldn't hesitate to use him again."
