Bespoke Hand-Drawn House Portraits
I’m Emma, and I specialise in creating commissioned hand-drawn architectural illustrations that go beyond simple lines. I provide a unique, creative interpretation of your property - capturing not just the structure, but the feeling of "home."
Whether it’s the cottage where you raised your family, the venue where you said "I do," or a historic château that has captured your imagination, every building tells a story.

Detailed study
Size: A5 - 148/210mm
Investment: £150
The Concept:
Perfect for capturing the intimate, hidden stories of a home. Rather than illustrating the entire building, this size focuses on a single, character-filled architectural feature.
Ideal Subject Matter:
An elegant, weathered front doorway; a classic sash window reflecting the sky; or a porch framed by your favorite climbing roses, wisteria, or garden greenery. It makes an incredibly thoughtful, intimate gift or a beautiful addition to a smaller gallery wall.
Standard Portrait
Size: A4 - 210/297mm
Investment: £220
The Concept:
The quintessential choice for a classic house portrait. This size offers the perfect, harmonious balance between the structure itself and its immediate surroundings, allowing the building to truly take center stage.
Ideal Subject Matter:
A full frontal view of a town cottage, a suburban home, or a detached house. The A4 format provides ample space to beautifully render the character of the brickwork or timber, while gracefully incorporating the immediate front garden, driveway, or structural boundary.
Grand house Portrait
Size: A3 -297/420mm
Investment: £400
The Concept:
A striking, statement artwork designed for grander scales. This generous format allows for an immersive composition, giving equal weight to the architectural form and the details that frame it. It is perfect for capturing intricate textures and finer, delicate details.
Ideal Subject Matter:
Substantial family homes, historic heritage sites, wedding venues, or country estates. Rather than a distant view, this size is ideal for capturing the rich character right up against the walls—such as the fine textures of historic brickwork, complex rooflines, ornate brickwork or stonemasonry, and the beautifully matured climbing plants, formal parterres, or patio spaces that frame the house.

“I was captivated by how Emma was able to capture the depth behind each of the window panes. I was intrigued by her talent and attention to detail, making the most of light and shadow, creating such depth and dimension. It is a delight to have the drawing on my wall”
