Custom portraits

This year I have had the fortunate opportunity to gain further experience in painting people!

It has actually been something I’ve actively avoided in the past, I didn’t believe I was very good at it and blimey I’ve not been to life drawing class in a LONG time but I really enjoy it now and it's almost like a bit of magic when you see that person appear on the paper.

I love the reaction people have to receiving these bespoke gifts. They’re a really personal, original gift and something to keep forever. So in preparation for Christmas - (7 weeks to go!) I have opened my books for commissions! You can visit my Etsy shop for more details or drop me an email! lillyallen@hotmail.co.uk.
