Greetings and welcome to my dedicated Hand Drawn Pet Portraits page. I’m Robert Shirt, a seasoned pet portrait artist with over 15 years of experience. Throughout my career, I’ve had the privilege of crafting custom pet portraits and paintings, each meticulously hand drawn to immortalize the beloved animals of clients around the world.
Pet portraits are perhaps the most fitting way to celebrate that special animal in your life, your best friend. You’ve come to the right place to commission a hand drawn, original piece of art for your home or to gift to a loved one.
You can guarantee your pet portraits will have hours of love put into creating them, ensuring they capture the true likeness and character of your pet.
My passion lies in capturing the unique character and warmth of each pet in my artwork. Each pet portrait, meticulously hand-drawn with intricate detail, not only preserves their likeness but also freezes a cherished moment in time, ensuring that the memories live on through art.
Please note that due to the detailed nature of my work, there is typically an 1-4 week waiting list for portraits to be completed. This timeframe may extend, particularly during the Christmas period, when demand is high. To avoid disappointment, it's advisable to book early. However, I do have various deadlines so I can usually fit you in for most dates.
Time lapses of my pet portraits can be viewed on my website. These are quite popular, and if you'd like me to film yours, please don’t hesitate to ask. I don’t just paint the usual dog portraits; if you have a request for a more unusual pet, it’s no problem. I've painted all kinds of pets in the past, from hamsters, chickens to sheep and even wildlife! This website is designed to assist you in obtaining a wonderful tribute to whatever pet or animal holds a special place in your heart.
I also offer a framing service for hand drawn pet portraits; these quality frames are supplied by a renowned gallery supplier. Each frame is custom-made per customer, featuring conservation-grade mounting as standard. They are backed, sealed, and include fixtures and fittings. Here, you'll discover a selection of the frames I offer as standard for your hand drawn pet portraits. Simply choose the profile width and explore the other dropdown options to obtain pricing. If you don't find a suitable frame among the standard options, there are additional non-standard frames available at the bottom of this page for your portrait. Let me know your preference, and I'll provide a pricing quote accordingly.
Rest assured that your portrait will be delivered safely, no matter where you are in the world. In the unlikely event your portrait is lost or damaged during transit, I will recreate the work at no additional cost to you.
Rest assured, if your portrait encounters any issues during transit, I will gladly recreate the artwork at no expense to you. Unlimited revisions are guaranteed to ensure your utmost satisfaction. Should adjustments be needed, I'll continue to refine the work until it aligns perfectly with your vision. Your happiness is my priority, and if you're not satisfied, you don't pay.
For portraits featuring fewer than four subjects, no upfront deposit is necessary. For larger projects, a deposit ranging from 20-30% may be requested. Additionally, if framing is requested, the cost of the frame is collected upfront. No VAT will be added to the total. I provide clear and upfront pricing to ensure you know exactly what to expect, with no hidden fees.
My portraits and paintings are meticulously hand-drawn using top-tier materials, ensuring exceptional craftsmanship. Unlike digital reproductions, you’ll receive the original artwork—not just a print. With over 15 years of experience as a portrait artist, I’ve completed thousands of commissions and garnered hundreds of reviews. I encourage you to explore the testimonials in my Reviews section to see the satisfaction of my previous clients.
