Custom House Portraits
Own an original, custom watercolour illustration of your home (or any other building - store front, wedding venue, favourite hotel, business premises, pub, etc).
Ideal as a moving gift, anniversary present or just an ever lasting memory of that special place you love.
- Your custom portrait will be painted with Windsor & Newton watercolours on cold press 300gsm watercolour paper.
- The finished painting will be on A4 (29.7 x 21cm) paper. The building will be centred on the paper.
- I am happy to add custom hand lettering at the bottom - be it family name or address. Unfortunately, I am unable to add people or pets at this time.

Our Products
All of our paper based products are printed in the UK, on FSC certified paper.
Additionally, our main range of greetings cards are printed on recycled stock and come with recycled envelopes.
Our Packaging
Most of our products are 'naked' ie without cellophane bags. For the products that do use cellophane, we opt for biodegradeable and compostable bags (art prints, some notepads). For online sales, we may even omit the packaging completely!
Our postage packaging is 100% recyclable or reusable. We never include packing slips to save on paper and ink.
If you do find the occasional bit of bubble wrap in your order, this hasn't been bought in - we re-use as much packaging as we can from businesses we buy from.
Planting Trees with Ecologi
Sarah Frances is proud to donate monthly to Ecologi. The money is put towards planting new trees around the world and off-setting carbon footprints. So far, new trees have been planted in Kenya and Madagascar. You can see up to date information regarding our donations and the planting of trees over on Ecologi.
Over to you!
