Gemma Weighill Artist

 I specialise in highly detailed, realistic style drawings and paintings of your animals, from household pets to farm animals and wildlife. All of my work is completed using top quality materials which enables me to achieve a high level of detail in each drawing and painting to create a timeless piece of art. Order for yourself the pet portrait you have always wanted or buy as a special gift for friends and loved ones. A pet portrait is perhaps the most fitting way to celebrate that special animal in your life.

​

Every piece of my work is produced with the greatest of attention to details. I can work from a single photo or a multiple of photographs. The better the photograph, the better the artwork. If you are unsure on what photos are best to use - I am more then happy to help any way I can but feel free to check out my FAQ page which has some photo tips on. Group portraits can be put together from different photos as long as the photos are taken from a similar angle. Backgrounds can be added to your portraits if you would like; so please don’t hesitate to contact me to discuss any thoughts or ideas you may have. 

​

On placing your order I require a 25% non refundable deposit to secure your order in my diary. The remaining amount is only due upon completion once you are completely satisfied with the finished piece.  If you would like to pay in monthly instalments this is something that can be arranged. 

​​

I will always contact you nearer the time before starting your portrait to let you know Ill be starting your piece imminently. 

Throughout working on your piece I will keep you updated with photos - This is so that you can see the progress and it enables you to let me know if any minor alterations are needed. After all, every owner know the looks of their pets better then anyone else and photos don't always do them justice.  When booking your order I will give you an anticipated start date. The time it takes me to complete a piece will depend on the size and medium of the portrait. I can give an estimated time frame when discussing your commission.​ Whilst every effort is made to meet this- it should not be regarded as an absolute guarantee. If you need your order in time for a special occasion such as a birthday please place your order early or let me know so I can ensure you have it in plenty of time. I tend to be very busy leading up to the Christmas period which normally starts in July, so it is vital that you book early to avoid any disappointment.  I also offer gift certificates  which are a great alternative if a last minute commission is not possible, or if you want to leave it to the recipient to decide what they want.​
