Portrait Drops
Hand-painted watercolour portraits of the people (or pets) you love.
Each month I’m opening up a small number of slots and paint a batch of portraits by hand, simple, loose, joyful sketches that capture a person with feeling and character. There are just 15 slots each drop. Once they're gone, that's it until the next one opens next month.
Hand-painted original artwork · Free UK postage · New drop each month · Just 15 slots per drop
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 or a person, a moment, a character, or a memory..
Each piece is an original artwork, painted by hand on watercolour paper (270gsm) A5 size, perfect for framing or gifting.
