Meet The Artist

Christi Le Roux

Most pet lovers don’t have anything in their home to show off their love of their pet. I’m a watercolor artist, I paint people’s pets from just a simple photo. They then have it framed, which makes them feel a sense of joy every time they look at it.

More about Christi

Why I’m different

SPECIALISED

I have been painting with watercolours for years, perfecting my craft to bring you the best likeness of your pet.

PAINTING STYLE

I am obsessed with capturing the essence of the pet, specifically the eyes. As I feel it’s the most important detail of all my pieces.

CARE & SPEED

I put all my focus when painting, When I start I think of nothing else and I only work on 1 painting at a time until it’s finished.

AFFORDABLE

I love when my paintings bring happiness to the owners, which is why it’s important to make it affordable to everyone.

Popular Questions

FAQs

Here are my frequently asked questions, please feel free to contact me if you have any other questions.

How long does it take to paint?

I can usually finish your painting in 7 days depending on my workload I will give you an estimate of a timeframe when you book your portrait.  If you would like to have it sooner, a rush fee will apply, please contact me to discuss this.

What art supplies do you use?

I work with professional watercolors on 300g watercolor paper. I want to provide the best service possible, and using high-quality supplies makes a huge difference, especially with watercolor.

Do you only paint pets?
Yes, I specialize in painting ALL animals from turtles to rabbits to even horses; however, painting people are not my strong suit.
Do you paint smaller than A4 pet portraits?

Unfortunately not, the smaller your paint in watercolor, the more the “details” get lost in the paint.

What are your shipping options?

I use The Courier Guy and Postnet (depending on your preference). You are also welcome to arrange for your own courier for pick up.

For international orders, contact me for a quote.

How will I receive my painting?
If you don’t take the framing option, the artwork is shipped flat between hard cardboard. I personally package each painting with care to protect it as much as possible during transport.
