Let me draw your house!

I create bespoke portraits of houses, businesses and places that hold a special place in your heart.

Black & White Building Portraits

 

This is my most affordable option for bespoke work. It works wonderfully as a gift for a friend, and I will provide you with an image file so it is perfect if you plan on reprinting the work in the future.

A5: from £30 + postage
A4: from £40 + postage
A3: from £50 + postage

I can add pets, people or text to the drawing, and I can also create a bespoke size artwork - send me a message to enquire!

“Absolutely in love! Thank you so much for my personalised house portrait. Sophie accommodated my requests with ease and even suggested little touches to fully personalise the piece. Ordering and delivery was super quick, Sophie even sent along a personalised note to accompany my purchase, a cute little extra touch! Everyone I have shown also thinks the portrait is amazing. It is hanging with pride on my wall. A lovely little keepsake for our first home. I will definitely be back!”

“Having seen her work on Instagram, I asked Sophie to draw a portrait of a house as a gift for a friend. I sent her some photos and we had a conversation about exactly how I wanted it to look. I received the finished product in the post and I couldn’t have been more pleased! I cannot fault the attention to detail and how she listened to and fulfilled my wishes for the drawing. I thoroughly recommend Sophie and her business and I will be ordering again!”

Watercolour
Building Portraits

 

This option is much more detailed and colourful than the black and white drawings. It is perfect for capturing the colour of a home, wedding venue or holiday destination, making it a wonderful piece of sentimental artwork to hang on the wall or display among photographs.

A5: from £50 + postage
A4: from £70 + postage
A3: from £85 + postage

I can add pets, people or text to the painting, and I can also create a bespoke size artwork - send me a message to enquire!

“I commissioned a watercolour house portrait as a wedding gift for one of my friends. The whole process was super easy, and Sophie was great at keeping me updated throughout. The finished piece looks excellent and my friend loves it so I am a very happy customer!’’

— Lucy

“I ordered two house portraits from Sophie after seeing her work on Instagram, I really loved her style. Sophie was responsive and professional with agreeing exactly what I wanted, including working out the details for international shipping. The portraits arrived in perfect condition and look amazing! They made an excellent gift for my wife.”

Special Memories

 

As well as building portraits, I have created drawings and paintings of your most treasured memories. Marriage proposals, childhoods spent at the beach or parts of your favourite city - if you are thinking outside the box, just talk to me about your idea!

‘‘I’m so pleased with how the painting turned out! I was a very demanding client, requesting lots of specific details, and Sophie delivered perfectly. She captured everything and created a wonderful family keepsake that we will treasure! Couldn’t recommend more!’’

— Louisa

''Sophie created a bespoke piece of artwork based on a selection of family photos. She captured the essence of our treasured photos whilst bringing her own interpretation and ultimately adding a new breath of life.''

— Andrew

The Process

 
  1. Send me an e-mail or message with your commission request - include your preferred size, photographs of the building (the more the better!) and any special requests like lettering, people or family pets!

  2. I will get back to you confirming how I can help and a quote for the work.

  3. Once confirmed, I will send you a pencil sketch within a week laying out the drawing. You can then let me know if you like the layout or want to make any changes or add any extra flourishes! I allow one round of changes at this stage.

  4. Once you are happy with the sketch, I will ask for your payment and delivery details before adding ink and/or paint to the piece.

  5. 2-3 weeks later, I will post the artwork to you. I will use First Class post, signed for (UK) or international tracked and signed.
