5”x7” Original Custom Portrait Watercolor Illustration

Custom listing*


Original Watercolor Pet Portrait Illustrations make a wonderful gift or a treasured keepsake. These original illustrations offer a creative take on your favorite fur friend. I use pencil and ink to create simple texture and depth. My pet portraits capture the distinctive traits and character of pets. The eyes are the heart of the artwork. I strive to capture their personalities through their eyes. Please note when I sketch the pet portrait, the background of the photo will be removed. The subject, of the portrait, is the only portion of the photo that will be sketched.

This style of artwork is drawn on a 300lb coldpress watercolor paper. Please note that the watercolor paper is hand cut, for each order, and some pieces of paper may not have a deckled edge, like those in the photos listed above.


The examples listed above are some of my previous custom black and white pet portrait illustrations. Please note that the images above have my watermark on them and my logo does not appear, on the actual artwork.

This original illustration is hand drawn and may include pencil, pen and or erase marks.

We ship all illustrations in tissue, cardboard or foam core, in a clear plastic sleeve to protect against potential outside elements. Please note that your sketch will arrive unmatted and unframed. We will include helpful framing instructions and suggestions for displaying your custom illustration.

Your painting will ship via USPS with insurance, if you are within the United States. At this time, we do not offer international shipping.

Please allow four to six weeks for completion of your custom Illustration, from the date the Illustration is officially commissioned.

The custom pet portraits may not be copied, reproduced or resold without the artist’s permission. By purchasing this item, you agree to my shop policies.
