Custom Portraits - People
Commission me to create a bespoke portrait of you and your loved ones. I can work from multiple photos to create your preferred compositon. I can also include family pets, or loved ones that have passed on.
They make a brilliant gift idea, and are a wonderful memento too.
Each portrait is created by hand using watercolours and pen and ink and I promise to capture you and your loved ones in a cute and colourful style.
You will receive an A5 - A4 watercolour portrait.
Please read all the details below on how to take your portrait photograph and place your bespoke portrait order.

How To Order Your Watercolour Portrait
Select the number of people or pets from the drop down menu. Please remember that babies / children count as a person too.
If you’d like to order a portrait but can’t find a suitable option to select please email me and I’ll be more than happy to arrange a custom listing for you.
What To Send So I Can Start Painting Your Portrait
After you have placed your order, please email me within 24 hours, along with your order number in the title at helenanneridley@gmail.com and please include:
- A face on head and shoulder photo of the people to be included (feel free to send several if you need to)
- How you would like them positioned (i.e. baby in the middle of two people)
- Specific clothes/hair styles/jewellery/colour preferences
PLEASE SEND ALL PHOTOS AND INFORMATION IN ONE EMAIL
What Happens Next?
Once I have your order and photo(s) I will get started on your portrait. Each person takes roughly 10 minutes to sketch, ink and paint and I will be painting as if you are sat in front of me at an event. Please make sure you always sent recent and accurate photos of you and your loved ones.
The Finished Portrait
Your original A5 watercolour portrait will then be carefully packed in a hardback envelope and posted to the address you supply with your order. Please allow 7-10 working days for painting and posting.
