Whether it’s the first house you bought together, the childhood home filled with decades of memories, or a family estate passed down through generations, our homes hold the stories of our lives. A custom, hand-drawn portrait is a beautiful way to honor those walls and the memories made within them.
Please note: This is a listing for a home portrait without people/ pets included. If you'd like to add people/pets to your home portrait, simply contact me to discuss this & receive a quote.
Why a Home Portrait?
A Timeless Keepsake: Photographs can fade or get lost in digital clouds, but a hand-drawn portrait is a physical heirloom that can be framed and passed down.
The Perfect Milestone Gift: An unforgettable gift for housewarmings, anniversaries, retirements, or for someone saying a difficult goodbye to a long-time family home.
Personalized Detail: Unlike a quick photo, a portrait allows for the artistic removal of distracting elements (like power lines or cars) to showcase the architecture and character of the property at its absolute best.
Available in both graphite pencils (black and white) or coloured pencils.
Home Portrait
It can be a hard to choose between colour or graphite, so here are a few differentiating factors to help you decide based on your needs:
Classic Graphite
- -Timeless, architectural and sophisticated
- Highlights textures like stone and brickwork
- Evokes nostalgia and classic elegance
- Fits any interior décor
Vibrant Colour
- Warm, lively & full of character
- Captures lush garden and bloom, or the pop of a painted front door
- Feels contemporary, cheerful and personal
If you're still struggling to decide, you can send me your reference photos to gracemurrayart@gmail.com and we can discuss what would be the most perfect option for you!
