Live Pet Portaits at 1 Hotel Mayfair

Written By Helen Ridley

On Saturday I was invited to create live illustrated dog portraits by 1 Hotel Mayfair in London. As a luxury dog friendly hotel they wanted to host a super fun Dog BBQ, in collaboration with B-Corp pet brand Beco.

I created live portraits of dogs that visited with their owners in just 10 minutes using watercolours and fineliner pens.

It was so much fun meeting all the sweet dogs and their owners, and I took quick reference photos of each dog to work from whilst they waited for their portrait.

Below are a few examples of the portraits that I created on the day.

If you have a dog friendly event coming up that you think would suit live illustration, do get in touch via the link below:
