Gillian Weddle Fine Art at Shaped by Nature

Alfie the Cockapoo, Pet Portrait

I’m delighted to be taking part in Herts Open Studios again this year, welcoming visitors into our creative space to share my work and process. I am a coloured pencil artist specialising in detailed, lifelike animal portraits, with a particular focus on capturing the unique personality and character of much-loved pets.

During your visit, you’ll have the opportunity to watch live demonstrations of my technique, offering a behind-the-scenes insight into how I build layers of colour and texture to bring each subject to life. From the first sketch to the finest details, I enjoy sharing the patience and precision that coloured pencil work requires.

Alongside my commissioned pet portraits, I will also be exhibiting a range of animal artworks, celebrating both domestic and wild creatures. My work aims to capture not just a likeness, but a sense of presence and connection.

Whether you’re an art enthusiast, an animal lover, or simply curious about the coloured pencil medium, I would love to welcome you and chat about my work.
