What's your favourite thing? What inspires you? What's your passion?
Take inspiration from the things you love and surround you and have them captured in pencil.
Please see all that I offer below.
SPECIAL OFFER! - Back Portraits in Pencil
Delicately drawn pencil portraits of backs of children and loved ones.
I am offering a framed (28cm x 28cm) pencil portrait for £140
These portraits are so thought provoking, endearing and timeless.
And they lend themselves beautifully to the rawness of graphite pencil.
Making them the most amazing gifts for Birthdays, Mother's and Father's Day, Christmas.
All I require is a photo of your subject taken from behind and emailed to
victoria@originalsinpencil.co.uk.
Photos can easily be taken with a smart phone.
Maybe you would like your child/children in their school uniform or dressing up clothes, sitting or standing?
Walking on their way to school (coats and bags make a great feature within the drawing)?
Maybe you would like an adult and child portrait?
The options are fun and endless.
You are welcome to send a few photos through so we can discuss which is best.
A little tip: bend a little to make sure your subject is positioned square and central and try not to cut off any limbs etc :)
Once I have received your photo, I will be in touch.
I will provide you with bank transfer details for an initial 50% deposit so I can add you to my list.
Final payment is required upon completion of the drawing.
Turnaround time is currently 2 weeks, but do let me know if you require your portrait for a special occasion.
Commissioned as a birthday present, my client received this message from her friend:
"Wow. You have bought tears to my eyes. This is one of the most thoughtful presents I have ever received.
Thank you so much."
