Pet Portrait Commission – Hand-Drawn in Pencil
How the Pet Portrait Commission Process Works
A pet portrait commission begins with your photographs. Using traditional graphite pencil, I hand-draw each portrait to capture expression, texture and character.
Dogs and cats are my primary subjects, though commissions are welcome for other animals. Every custom pet portrait is drawn individually, ensuring no two artworks are ever the same.
Graphite pencil allows for subtle shading and fine detail, making it ideal for realistic animal portrait commissions.
Pet Memorial Portraits
I also offer pet memorial portraits for those wishing to remember a much-loved animal who has passed. These portraits are drawn by hand in graphite pencil, with care and sensitivity, focusing on expression and familiar details that feel meaningful.

There is no obligation, and enquiries are always welcome.

For me to achieve the best possible results for your professional pet portrait commission, it’s essential that you supply the best quality photos as possible, which must be well lit, sharp, in focus and include good detail.
The photos can be emailed to: fiona@fionagreenart.com and I can then advise you of their suitability.
A 50% non-refundable deposit secures your booking (you can pay below or will be sent a payment link). Once paid, your place is confirmed from my next available date. Early booking is recommended, especially for special occasions.

I will send a photo of the first outline picture to ensure you are happy with the composition and then a photo of the finished picture.
The remaining balance is only due once you’re completely happy with your portrait.
