A gift voucher for a bespoke Pet Portrait - a perfect present for anyone with a beloved pet!

The voucher will entitle the recipient to a one-off, bespoke original painting of their pet (or pets), in the size of your choice. They will be required to e-mail photos to me to work from; there are instructions and contact details on the reverse of the voucher.

Once the recipient has e-mailed their photos, I will work closely with them to create a piece they love. All of my pet portraits are painted with gouache paints on smooth watercolour paper. I aim to capture the individuality and character of each animal, creating artwork which strikes a balance between fine detail and expressive mark-making.

The voucher includes the cost of postage of the finished painting to the recipient.

Printed on heavyweight paper, the voucher will be attached to a coloured blank card for you to write your own message inside (if you want to!), secured with a cute dog-shaped paperclip. It will come with a kraft envelope, inside a striped paper bag and will be posted to you in a hard-backed envelope, so it arrives in mint condition.

The voucher will be valid from the date of purchase, or from the date it'll be gifted - please let me know if you'd prefer a specific date.

Please note that turnaround time for the finished portrait is subject to my schedule - some weeks are busier than others! In general I'm usually able to complete pieces within 3 weeks, with the exception of busier months in the run up to Christmas (October-December).

Different variations are available to choose from in terms of size and number of pets to include in the painting. These are as follows;

A5 (14.8x21cm) - with 1 pet

A4 (21x29.7cm) - with 1 or 2 pets

A3 (29.7x42cm) - with 1 or 2 pets

If you would like anything different to these options please let me know and I'll see what I can do!

Other preferences:

-If you have a colour preference for the outer card please let me know and I'll do my best to match it, but colours generally just depend on what I can get my hands on.

-This voucher design is aimed primarily at dog owners - please let me know if you'd like something else on the front and I'll see what I can do! Other animals are in progress.

-If you would like me to post the voucher directly to the recipient (with a message written in the card if required), please let me know by adding a comment at the checkout, or by e-mail to hello@fionapurves.co.uk.
