The Minimalist - Custom Dog Portrait Commission

Price

£180.00

This minimal dog portrait custom commission is an original, hand-drawn artwork created in my signature pared-back style. Each piece focuses on form, posture, and expression, capturing the unique character of your dog through line and shape rather than excessive detail.

The intention is not realism, but essence. These drawings are calm, considered portraits designed to sit beautifully within a modern home, offering a subtle and thoughtful way to honour a much-loved companion.

Every portrait is drawn individually by hand and no two are ever the same.

About the Style

This is a minimal drawing, not a detailed painting or photorealistic portrait.

Materials

I work with a combination of archival artist materials, including coloured pencils, oil pastels, acrylic inks, charcoal and acrylic paints chosen for their ability to create texture, depth, and expressive mark-making.

More Than One dog?

This commission is designed for one dog only. For portraits featuring multiple dogs, I recommend my Signature Portrait Commission, which allows for more space and greater compositional flexibility.
