Commissions

How do I commission a portrait?

Firstly, you will need to send me some photographs of your pet. I aim to work from your favourite photographs of your pet although it is always a pleasure to meet your pet in person! I am also happy to work from older photographs for a special memorial portrait. Once we agree on a photo to work from I will use additional photos to capture your pet’s unique personality and detail. A 50% deposit is required before I begin drawing.

Graphite or Colour?

I offer portraits in graphite pencil and coloured pastel pencils. The choice of which is up to you! It’s worth thinking about what would go well with your house, the colour of the animal and what size portrait you’d like.

What happens next?

You will be included in the creative process throughout, receiving updates as the portrait is drawn. Your feedback is important at each stage to ensure the final portrait is exactly how you would like it. When the portrait is complete, we can arrange collection or postage at cost.

I am happy to work to your requirements and timeframe, please let me know when booking if you have a special occasion in mind.

If you are interested in commissioning a portrait, please email eswerrett.art@gmail.com or complete the form below to start the process. I look forward to hearing from you soon!

I currently have very limited availability for Christmas 2024 portraits and am also booking for early 2025 completion. I also have fit vouchers available for Christmas.

‘Just to say how thrilled I am with the portrait of Darcey 💓 You’ve really caught her likeness, such talent. Thank you so much!’

Helena, June 2020

‘I have been very impressed with the customer experience provided by Eleanor; she always provides unique and creative ideas to personalise my products. Eleanor also updated me throughout the processes each time I had placed an order, so I had total say in how exactly I wanted it. 
I’m very grateful she has captured the character of my much beloved pooch in a variety of products, with his gorgeous dog bed and portraits. I can’t thank you enough! (Kipper says a big thank you, too!)’

Caitlin, February 2020

‘The picture I commissioned from Eleanor was more than I expected, Bev was speechless when she unwrapped it. Thank you very much indeed!’

Paul, 2020

‘If you want a memory to cherish, a portrait of your pet from this very talented artist is the way to go. She will take either the real thing or a photo and give you an awesome canvas. At all stages she sent me updates and was punctual and wha I received exceeded my expectations. The recipient (my wife) was blown away by the finished article . Would recommend to anyone looking for that extra special thing.’

Mark, 2020

‘Thank you so much for drawing Nala for me it looks amazing! I’m really happy with the work you’ve done.’

Darcey, 2019

‘Eleanor is such a talented artist. She has done the most beautiful study of my girl, and was very patient with all her awkward markings (darned flea bitten grey, especially those with face markings!)

She definitely did Hazy justice and brought her back to life in picture form. That definitely takes some doing! If she can manage to do an awkwardly coloured grey, then she can do anything!’

Abbie, 2019

‘Thank you so much for the lovely drawings of our little Jack Russell Sheba. It is so amazing how Eleanor has managed to capture her personality and sweet nature, we couldn’t be more pleased.’

Pat, 2019

‘I highly recommend commissioning a portrait from Eleanor. We are delighted with our picture of Poppy our cockapoo.’
