Charity Portrait - Individual / Couple / Pet(s)
Charity Portrait - Individual / Couple / Pet(s)
To help raise money for Mind, the mental health charity I’m running the 2026 London Marathon for, I’m opening a small number of slots for hand-painted watercolour sketch portraits. Simple, friendly, heartfelt illustrations created just for you.
These portraits are drawn in ink and finished with delicate watercolour, with a joyful, expressive, loose style. They aren’t about exact likeness, they’re about capturing a feeling, a little moment, a spark of character, a memory that makes you smile.
Each piece is an original artwork, painted by hand on beautiful 300gsm watercolour paper (A5 size), perfect for framing or gifting.
All proceeds (after website fees - so around £30 from each individual person / pet portrait and £50 from each couple/ pair of pets portrait) will be donated to Mind, supporting vital mental health work across the UK.

A Note from Me
Running the London Marathon for Mind means a lot to me, their work around mental health and creative wellbeing has had a profound effect on my own life. These portraits are a small way for me to combine my love of art with a cause I really believe in. Thank you for helping with your contributions and for helping to make a difference.
