Watercolor drawings, portraits (faces, full-length, animals etc….)

Over the years I have painted many portraits of people and animals in different techniques. This technique is a mixed media on watercolour paper. I draw with graphite and add watercolours, coloured pencils, inks and gouache as well as gold leaf sometimes. I like to personalise these portraits by adding the passions of the people represented. The young boy on the left dreamed of being a sailor. As for the girl on the right, she was a real bookworm despite her young age (she is wearing a swimming costume but the position does not allow it to be seen)

These 3 portraits are teenage girls’ faces on 30x30cm watercolour paper

Jasmine on the left is surrounded by Jasmines in reference to her name, Natty in the middle loves flowers, while Laetitia on the right had a cheeky little look

I was walking along the wild coast, a couple were kissing on the edge of the beach, I sketched them quickly. The pastel sketch gives a lot of vigour and movement to the drawings

Details to order a miniature on paper

You may want me to paint landscape, flowers, boat, objects of your choice or the full-length portrait or the face of one or several people you love, one of your animals etc.
Think carefully about what you want. Those miniaturees are very appreciated presents
The best thing is for you to phone me or to make an appointment if you are on the Quiberon peninsula so that we can discuss about it . The miniatures can be round, oval, square or rectangular according to your choice, the minimum size being 1 inch and the largest 2 inches.
To make the miniature I will need one or two clear, detailed photographs of each “element”. You will be able to choose the size of the paper on which I paint the miniature which is normally between 12 and 15cm
I will soon add pictures showing all these possibilities.
Following the evaluation of the working time, I will establish you an estimate indicating the time of realization, in general from 1 to 3 weeks according to the number of orders because certain periods (before Valentine’s Day, Christmas etc…) are busier.
If you accept the quote, I will ask you for a deposit of 30% of the total,
When it will be done, I’ll send you a photograph of the finished miniature and you will receive it by registered post with insurance and tracking code after having paid the balance. If you click on Order at the top of the page, you will be able to read the terms and conditions of order
