South African Portrait Artist, Celia van Niekerk specialises in custom portrait paintings in watercolour, oil paint or graphite pencil. She has a clean and modern style that will complement any home and interior decor. Your custom portrait is sure to become a treasured heirloom in commemoration of your loved ones.

Watercolour portraits make lovely gifts for any occasion and have proved to be a hit with Grannies, BFF’S, engaged couples, brides and grooms, etc. I can also digitize your illustration to use it on your Babyshower Invitations, Wedding Invitations and much more. Watercolour has a very distinct fun and whimsical appearance that resonates with a wide audience.

Celia uses the finest quality 100% cotton watercolour paper and professional watercolour pigments in creating her special paintings. Watercolour paintings are sold unframed. Framing can however be arranged at an additional fee. Professional framing is advisable to prolong the longevity of any watercolour artwork.

Custom oil paintings (especially portrait paintings) are very special gifts for any occasion and can easily become a treasured family heirloom. Celia only uses professional quality oil paint and the finest artist canvas for all her paintings to ensure that your painting will last for years to come.  All paintings are painted on a 40mm deep edge stretched canvas – which does not require any framing and is sold unframed. Paintings can however still be framed afterwards for decorative purposes. (Oil Paintings are available by special request ONLY with an extended lead time, kindly contact the artist to confirm availability.)

Graphite pencil portrait drawings are popular with young and old! Just about any photo can be turned into a graphite pencil drawing. Graphite pencil sketches are suitable for both people and pet portraits. Celia only use professional quality paper and pencils in the making of your special portrait.
