Pet Portrait Commissions
A commissioned portrait can be a fantastic present for yourself or as a gift for a special occasion such as Birthdays, Christmas, Valentines etc.
So when booking in it's very important to have a date in mind that it needs to be completed by and make sure you state this in your pet portrait commission request.
I will always do my best to accommodate the date you require and endeavour to get the portrait completed within the timescale. I will send you regular updates throughout the process and answer any questions you might have.
I have drawn many portraits of dogs, cats, horses, as well as sheep, a guinea pig & a tortoise!
Window to the soul
'Unique pet portrait'
As well as standard commissions I also offer these unique "Window to the soul" portraits, these are a very special way of capturing a different reflection in your pets eyes.
It involves using one main reference photo for the pose and a separate photo to work with for the eye reflection. The idea behind this style of portrait is to look into their eyes and see an old memory/event. These can be wonderful touch for memorial portraits too.
"I believe that when you look into their eyes you can see their soul, which is where this idea came from"
​
Due to the nature of these portraits, they are only suitable for single subjects on sizes 11"x14" & 12"x16".
​
If you would like a quote for a portrait in this style please state this when filling in the contact form and please attach the photos that you would like to use.

Reference Photo Requirements
Photographs taken outside without flash or by a large window are the best to avoid red eye (Please don’t use flash). Face the pet at the window so you can see more reflection and light in the eyes- super important. This will also help to get a nice lighting for the coat - (NOT the window behind the pet- it must be facing out at the window for this to work)! If you can’t however go outside please just make sure that if your having a colour portrait, the photo is colour accurate! Katie can only replicate what she sees so it must be the right colour. Choose your photos accordingly and tell her of any changes that need to be made please.
Step One
Get together as many photos as you can and email them across. Ideally a minimum of 3-5 clear reference photos of the subject you would like to have drawn in your pet portrait.
Step Two
During this stage of communication between us is very important to explain what you want. All of the information required for the pet portrait to go ahead is discussed now.
Step Three
This is when the 50% non-refundable deposit is due to confirm your space in the diary. Which guarentees the portrait will be completed within the timescale you have requested.
Step Four
I will be in touch with you throughout the whole process from just before starting, giving update progress photos right up until the completed portrait.
Step Five
Once the portrait is complete and the final payment balance has been paid, I will then pack up and post the portrait to the agreed address using Royal Mail Special Delivery Next Day.​
