First Anniversary Gifts

the perfect gift

A pencil portrait makes a very special 1st anniversary gift.  I can draw it from any good clear photograph - either taken on the day of the wedding or, perhaps, on the honeymoon.

In fact, any favourite photograph of the couple can make a beautiful portrait.

Although, being paper, it makes an ideal first anniversary gift, it can also be an ideal thank-you gift for the bride or groom's parents.

Joan commissioned this portrait for her friends of their wedding day.

The original photo was fairly dark so she asked me to lighten it slightly. The alteration did allow more detail to be visible.

Maria left it rather late to commission this portrait.
It was all a bit last minute but thanks to the miracle of the internet I was able to receive the photos, draw the portrait and deliver the finished article to her within 7 days.

Hi Basi,

Just wanted to confirm safe receipt of the portrait - it looks absolutely amazing - thank you so much - I'm sure he will love it just as much as me...now I've got to take it in the suitcase without him seeing!

Will definitely be using you again in the future!.

Kind regards,

Maria
