HOW TO ORDER | Opulent Mutts Pet Portraits

Commission a pet portrait

MY ART STYLE

I draw gorgeous loose and expressive, sketchy custom drawings of your pets. I keep my prices friendly so that more people can enjoy my art - this means that I work quickly with more emphasis on capturing your pet's personality than spending too much time on details. But be warned, you might find them a bit addictive, they're highly collectible, and many of my customers come back for more!

I have drawn dogs, cats, and horses – and I'm open to drawing any kind of pet. I don't consider myself to be a people portraitist, but if there is a person in the photograph with a pet I am happy to draw them too. Past customers have been happy with the results and you can read my testimonials page to find out what they have said.

ART MATERIALS I USE

I use a combination of art materials to bring your pets' personalities to life - usually pencil, ink, soluble graphite, soluble carbon and charcoal on paper.

In order to keep my prices friendly, I don't offer framing. I do offer common sizes that are easy to buy frames for though, and your drawings will come beautifully gift-wrapped.

HOW TO ORDER

Take a look at the options and my price list below
Choose your favourite photo(s) for me to draw
Email me the details of your order with your photos
I will then ask for extra info I need to calculate your P&P
I'll email your invoice with different options for payment
Once I've received your payment you'll be added to my list
I will be in touch when your parcel is ready to ship or collect

It can take anything from 1 to 4 weeks for you to receive your drawings, which is why it's important to order well ahead of time if you need gifts for certain dates. There is an option to fast-track your order and skip my list below.

P&P

Postage & Packaging is calculated individually, based on where you live and how you would like your parcel delivered. You can choose to have standard delivery, tracked and signed for, or depending on where you live I may be able to deliver on foot, or we can arrange a collection.

FAST TRACK

I prefer not to fast-track orders as I don't think it's fair on other customers, but in some cases I'll make an exception. For the privilege to skip my list you'll have to pay an extra 50% of your total order amount, not including P&P. During the peak period of Christmas this increases to an extra 100% of your total order amount, which means you'll be paying double. This is to account for overtime I'll have to put in so that other customers aren't affected and will still receive their orders in time for Christmas.

WHAT IS A SINGLE DRAWING?

A single drawing is one sketch drawn from one reference photo. The photo can contain more than one pet.

I offer single portraits in four different sizes: A6, A5, A4 and A3. When choosing, keep in mind that the smaller the drawing and the more pets in the photo, the less detail there will be.

People who buy a single portrait have often come back for more as their pet gets older, or if they welcome a new addition to the family.

WHAT IS A SET OF 3?

You provide three photos for me to draw, and I will draw them all in the same size, either A6 or A5, so that you get three separate drawings. They can be framed individually or together in a multi-frame or a bespoke frame (not provided). People love these for more structured wall displays, with the pictures hung side-by-side or vertically. They also look nice hung at different heights.

WHAT IS A GIFT SET?

A gift set is a beautiful collection of drawings in different sizes. I'll ask for a selection of photos to work from, these can be of many different pets, and I'll then create a set of drawings that will be a unique and special gift for yourself or a special person in your life.

People love to give gift sets for special occasions like birthdays or Christmas. They're also a great way to treat yourself if you want to design a wall display with the drawings or have drawings of your pets displayed in different parts of your home. I think they also make really special memorial gifts to remember pets that have passed over the rainbow bridge.

FEELING CONFUSED?

I've tried to keep it simple, but there is a lot of information here. So if you're feeling confused and you don't know what you want, get in touch and I can help you decide what's right for you, whether you're treating yourself or buying a gift for a loved one or friend.
