I will illustrate your building on watercolour paper, bringing blooms of expressive colour in places of the painting through the use of watercolour. I then bring detail to the artwork by using fine art ink pens. This completes the artwork with personality and exposes the flourishes of the building by highlighting the details.
To begin the process, you will email me to discuss the type of house portrait that you would like. I require photographs of the building, the more you have, the more detail I can achieve in the portrait.
If you opt to get the artwork professionally framed with me, you will receive the artwork in a mount and a beautiful handcrafted wooden frame, in a choice of white, black or natural. (Note that the frames in the imagery attached are not the frames that I use).
"Lynsey's beautiful artwork made the perfect gift. She did a phenomenal job with the brief and was a dream to work with. Putting her own creative flare into the piece and capturing the details beautifully. It is so unique and so special, and is proudly hung in our home. We will cherish it forever." Aisling, Dublin
"‘Home is where the heart is’ This portrait created by Lynsey was extra special in many ways. Unfortunately time was of the essence and Lynsey went out of her way so we could deliver this special house portrait to a very special mother . The level of detail ensuring every aspect was captured beautifully. Lynsey was incredible to deal with and the service provided was exceptional. No words can describe our gratitude to Lynsey . The beautiful artwork will be forever cherished. It was a pleasure working on this commission with Lynsey and we look forward to future commissions." Mark & Lorrine
"Your talent is amazing, Looking forward to ordering another piece from you. The portraits are even more beautiful in person!! Mum was absolutely amazed by it and the detail, such a special gift" Jaclyn, Sligo
"The artwork Lynsey created was a House Portrait that we got as a present for our parents. Even though my siblings and I have long moved out, it will always be the home house, the center of the compass, and the meeting point for the whole family. It brings so much happiness to all of us to have that home immortalised in a lovely Lynsey McKernan original! Lynsey's ability to capture the nostalgia, joy, and warmth of the house in her artwork is brilliant. To look at the picture hanging up is the same thing as deciding to smile. I would very much recommend working with Lynsey. She was so friendly and quick to respond to us, not to mention the beautifully finished portrait." Helen, Belfast
