Ginny's Pet Portraits
Why a Pet Portrait?
Skyla
To those of you who used to visit me at the New Brighton Market I no longer go there concentrating instead on church fairs and craft shows.
On the 29th November 2026 you will find me at the Goode Christmas Market at the Pioneer Stadium.I am still drawing portraits and will be bringing some familiar as well as new drawings/paintings to the show.If you are interested in gifting a portrait, simply email your reference photo to me at [email protected] along with your instructions.Remember, the easiest way to create a personalised gift for an animal lover is with a pet portrait. Whether it's a cat, a dog, a horse, or something completely different we can create a truly unique and meaningful gift for you.

About Reference Photos
Frankie
I work from a reference photo to create a detailed portrait of your pet. A good quality reference photo is important as it helps me create the best picture of your pet ensuring that I can do a detailed drawing.Sometimes a less than perfect image can be used, but generally speaking the better the photo the better the result. If you unable to offer a near perfect photo of your pet additional photos can help capture the character and likeness of your pet. Here are some tips to help you find or take a good reference photo:(1) Resolution: A high resolution photo taken from the front and at eye level will allow more in the way of details to be captured.(2) Lighting: Make sure the eyes are visible, the eyes are very important. If possible taking a photo in natural light is ideal but well-lit rooms can also work.(3) Focus: The photo needs to be in focus without any blurring or distortions.
Commissions
It's worth remembering that you can send in a request for a portrait at any time to ensure it will be ready and available when you need it. This is particularly important for occasions such as Christmas and birthdays when waiting lists begin to occur.Below are just a few examples of completed commissions.

Just in case you missed it, we have included 'people' portraits to our selection. There will be a separate site for those in the near future but until then I will be adding one or two here.

Having been asked so many times do I draw people portraits? I do now.I will need a good quality reference photo as outlined below.[Over time we will be moving our 'People Portraits' to its own site.](1) Resolution: A high resolution photo taken from the front and at eye level will allow more in the way of details to be captured.(2) Lighting: Make sure the eyes are visible, the eyes are very important.
