Mini 3"x3" Whimsical Custom Watercolor Pet Portrait

These mini 3" x 3" whimsical watercolor pet portraits make a wonderful gift or a treasured keepsake. Minis are perhaps one of my favorite types of illustration.

As @littlenakao from Instagram puts it “such big hearts captured in mini form.”

These original watercolor pet portraits offer a creative take on your favorite fur friend. I use watercolor washes to create texture and add 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. A complimentary solid colored background will be included, unless otherwise noted.

This style of artwork is painted on a heavy weight cold-press, acid-free, watercolor board.
