House Portraits

HOUSE PORTRAITS

Illustrations of houses should be joyful, colourful, and  sentimental, capturing the essence of your home, whether they are framed within your home or printed on your postcards. To commission your own piece of artwork or for pricing details, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

House portraits range in size from  A5 to A3, allowing for a range of illustrative detail, depending on the size and  complexity of the image. Smaller illustrations of the home can be equally as charming as large and detailed ones.

Typically, the windows of my house portraits are filled with colour and light, flowers bloom around the house, and sometimes a butterfly or bird can be glimpsed in the air. Why not add an extra-personal detail such as the family pet to the foreground? As seen below in the illustration of Yalton House.

POSTCARDS AND CHRISTMAS CARDS

Converted into a Christmas Card

Many choose to commission watercolours of their home to send out as thank you cards or Christmas cards. Perfect for any occasion, these bespoke illustrations add a personal touch that shop bought cards simply can’t match.

I can firstly illustrate your home for you as an original watercolour, adding any personal touches, and then organise the printing into postcards for you, with my trusted printer. Why not add a Christmas wreath, a Christmas tree or Christmas lights and convert the watercolour illustration into a festive Christmas card?
