Custom Made Pet Portraits
Pet Portrait painting or drawing made with attention to detail and lots of love. I will help you to capture and enhance the beauty and character of the subject, turning it into a memorable piece of art that you can proudly display in your home or that makes a thoughtful, one of a kind gift for someone special.
If you would like to book a pet portrait commission there is availability throughout the year but this is dependent upon how quickly bookings fill up! This means that sometimes requests may be added to a wait list. Take a look at the gallery images below for examples of previous works and to decide if I’m the right artist for you. Any Questions about the process- don’t hesitate to get in touch below!

How To order
Ordering your custom portrait couldn’t be simpler. For an informal chat to discuss your requirements just message me at hello@rebeccafindlay.com .I will be more than happy to go through the options with you and help you decide what best suits your needs
Once confirmed, I let you know the exact price for your work. Please be aware that the prices included below are for a standard one subject and small amount of background. Any extras may take more time which will be reflected in the price. As a guide, extra subjects are £50 per subject and a full background is also priced at £50. I will always let you know the price of any extras upfront via email so that you are fully informed before your purchase.
You will need to supply a good, clear photograph (you can send more than one) of the subject that you wish to be drawn. This can be sent to me via email. I am more than happy to help you select and advise on what would work best in order to get the best possible result for you.
Please note: I will not begin work on your custom artwork until I have contacted you first via e-mail to clarify details, price and until you are happy. I realise that it can be daunting ordering art from the internet, especially if you do not know the artist but I can assure you that your portrait will be in experienced hands! I understand just how much your pets are loved and are a part of your family and pride myself on offering a unique and personal experience where your satisfaction is at the forefront of what I do.

Depending on how many projects I am currently working on, turnaround times can vary, but typically you should allow for 4-8 weeks.
