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.

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.
For couples, families or pets together, you’ll need one photo with everyone already in it, together, as they’ll appear in the portrait. I paint from a single image rather than combining separate photos.

Choose your portrait size (no. of people) and add to cart. Individual, couple, or a family group, people and pets both count as a subject.
Fill in the short form in your confirmation email. A name for each subject and one clear, well-lit photo is all I need.
