Bespoke portraits

People, pets, places

Send us a photo and our artists will paint it by hand on canvas: a portrait of your children or your parents, the dog, the two of you on holiday, the house you grew up in. The same sizes and the same frame finishes as every painting on the site, so it arrives finished and ready for the wall.

From photo to canvas

Watch them come to life

Every portrait starts with a photo you send us and ends with a canvas our artists have painted by hand. A few recent pieces, from first sketch to finished painting.

    Our artists paint your canvas by hand, working from your photo.

    Framed in the finish you choose, from black and oak to antique gold, or as a rolled canvas. Free delivery across the UK.
We can paint anything

If it matters to you, we can paint it.

A portrait does not have to be a formal face. The best ones are usually a moment: a photo you keep coming back to, a place, a pet, a person. Here are some of the things people ask us for.

  • Newborns & first photos

    The hospital bracelet, the first yawn, the tiny hand. Painted before they grow.

  • Weddings & anniversaries

    Your favourite frame from the day, or the two of you now, however many years on.

  • Engagements & proposals

    The moment, the place, the yes.

  • Pets

    Dogs, cats, horses, the odd rabbit. And the ones you have lost, painted from the photo you keep.

  • Family & generations

    Grandparents, parents and children together, even if the photos were taken years apart.

  • In loving memory

    A gentle portrait of someone who mattered, made from the photo you love most.

  • Your home

    Your first flat, the family house, the cottage you got married from.

  • The place you met

    A beach, a city, a café on a corner. Painted so you can keep it on the wall.

  • Milestones

    Graduations, big birthdays, retirements, the finish line.

  • Couples & date nights

    A quiet one of the two of you, not the posed kind.

  • Gifts

    For Mum, for Dad, for Christmas, for Valentine's. The kind that gets unwrapped slowly.

  • Hobbies & teams

    The boat, the bike, the first-team photo, the dog at the show.

Pet portraits

Custom pet portraits from your photos

Your dog asleep on the sofa, the cat in her favourite sunny spot, the horse you grew up riding: send us a photo and our artists will turn it into a custom pet portrait, hand painted on canvas. Phone photos are perfect. The clearer the eyes and the fur, the more character we can bring out, and if you have a few shots, send them all and we will help you choose the one that will paint best.

We paint dogs, cats, horses, rabbits and birds, on their own or together, with a favourite background or a simple, modern finish. Memorial portraits of pets you have lost are some of the pieces we are proudest of, painted gently from the photo you keep.

Every pet portrait comes rolled or framed in one of our six frame finishes, in any size you like, with free UK delivery. Not sure which frame suits your room? Our guide to choosing a frame can help, or browse our hand painted animal paintings for something ready to order.

Custom sizes

Any painting, any size.

Every piece on the site is painted when you order it, so it can be made to fit your wall exactly: a long panel above a bed, a tall piece for the stairs, a statement canvas for a big room. Tell us the painting and the size, or the space you have, and we will quote it.

Custom colours

Colours to match your room

Love a painting but not the palette? We can paint it in colours that suit your room: softer, warmer, cooler, or picking up a shade from your sofa or your curtains. Send us the painting and a photo of the room and we will take it from there.

Bespoke questions

Do I need a professional photo?

No. A clear phone photo with the face in focus is all we need. If you have a few, send them all and we will tell you which will paint best.

Can you paint more than one person or pet?

Yes. Couples, families, two dogs, a child and a grandparent: send the photos and we will suggest how to bring them together on one canvas.

Can you change the background or leave something out?

Yes. A plain background, a favourite place, a different outfit colour, a person removed: just tell us when you send the photo.

What sizes can I have?

Any size. Our standard sizes are listed on every product page and we paint bespoke sizes to order, in any of our six frame finishes or as a rolled canvas.

How does delivery work?

Each painting is made to order. UK delivery is free and takes about 4 weeks from order; EU and USA delivery is £39.99 and takes about 5 weeks.
