Meet Janette
Welcome to my website, I'm so excited you're here. Drawing pets is such a passion for me and I can't wait to hear about your furry or feathered friends. The commission process is simple but here are some things you should know, and a little about me before we get started.
I'm a self taught artist, and a huge lover of animals big and small. Having grown up with all kinds of pets, I used to draw them as they slept and fell in love with this realistic style of artwork which showcases their natural beauty. Classic head portraiture is my absolute favourite, keeping the main focus on the animal's eyes and expression, capturing their character to the best of my ability. I began experimenting with colour and discovered the magic of pastels which give a wonderfully soft look to the pet's fur that you can almost feel, but I am always pushing the envelope of realism and coloured pencil allows me to include more detail than ever in my portraits to make the animal feel alive. I am happy to offer both mediums to suit your preference, and a comparison of each can be found below. Take a look at the form below to start the commission process and feel free to email me directly with any further questions!
Commission Information
I want the commission process to be as easy as possible so I've created a form that covers all the information I need, apart from reference images. Fill out the form to the best of your ability and I will be in touch to discuss your portrait details further and collect photos. If you're undecided on anything, I am more than happy to take a look at your reference image(s) and offer my suggestions! Once details have been decided, I will send you a deposit invoice which is required to secure your booking. Please note that your booking date is not confirmed until your deposit is paid, and full payment is required upon completion. For more information and portrait examples, click the buttons below.
