A soft, hand-painted watercolour portrait made just for you.
Each piece is painted slowly and thoughtfully, capturing warmth, mood, and personality in my signature Whimsical Repose style.

Style Notes
My portraits are:

We have been following thewhimsicalrepose for the past few years and have always enjoyed following her art, with my fiancée absolutely adoring Pudding the Penguin! With this in mind I reached out to ask not only to commission a Custom portrait, which is an amazing piece of art perfectly capturing our details, but I also asking if a storybook of Pudding the Penguin’s adventures could also be commissioned. The story prints are amazing with each one detailing a day in Pudding’s adventure with perfect calligraphy of the story handwritten on each print. They made a perfect gift to present to my fiancée for my proposal to her! Throughout the process Sarah could not have been more helpful as we discussed details for this very special gift.
Ever since I realized that thewhimsicalrepose is taking orders for customized portraits, I knew I had to order from her because I appreciate the time and effort that she has put in for all her paintings and art work. I’ve ordered a customized portrait for my friend as a wedding gift and she is totally in love with it! She mentioned that the tiniest details in the photo given are all taken into account and painted beautifully in the portrait. This shows that it was truly customized just for them. :) Thank you for making my friend’s day with the beautiful work done, and not forgetting the thoughtful packaging of the portrait too!
I couldn't be happier after receiving the customised potrait by thewhimsicalrepose. I get to relieve that special moment with a hand drawn drawing of it. Thank you!! ❤
