Miniature Pet Portraits
Miniature portraits are exactly that – miniature! 😊
They’re tiny, detailed pieces created on small paper sizes, and their charm lies in their scale.
Please keep this in mind when booking:
I work on a 15x15cm square piece of watercolour paper. The subject will be about 5-6 cm high and wide (depending on the subject’s dimensions, obviously.) Be sure to check the listed paper size and portrait dimensions carefully before confirming your order. It’s important to have the right expectations, especially if you’re hoping for something larger. The Miniature Portraits are available in both coloured pencil or graphite pencil options. Multipet options available – Diptych & Triptych can be multiple mini artworks of the same pet or different pets – your choice!
Miniature Pet Portrait drawings are a one-of-a-kind gift for any special occasion or just a keepsake to remember a special pet who crossed the rainbow bridge. Commemorate your beloved pet FOREVER on paper.
If you’re unsure whether a miniature is the right fit, I’m happy to chat and guide you!
A good quality photograph is required to achieve a good likeness. I try to capture all the special details that make your pet unique, as well as their quirky personalities. It is very important for me to capture the personality and character of your pet. Apart from pet portrait drawings and paintings, I am also available for people portrait commissions.

Miniature Coloured Pencil Pet Portraits

Coloured Pencil (and Graphite Pencil) Miniature portraits are sketched on 100% cotton watercolour paper and sold unframed.
These portraits are highly detailed and realistic. As with the larger scaled portraits, I only use the highest-quality drawing surfaces from France and Italy and the finest-quality German, American and Swiss-made coloured and graphite pencils. If cared for properly, your artwork will withstand the test of time.
Framing can be arranged at an additional fee. Artworks are professionally framed, behind glass for the best finish and to prolong the longevity of the artworks even further.
The Client has the option to choose between standard portrait glass or investing in Artglass (Gallery Standard) glass for incredible clarity (no reflections) and UV protection.
