44c Gillian Weddle at Baldock Collective

I’m Gillian Weddle, a coloured pencil artist specialising in realistic pet portraits. My work focuses on capturing the unique personality and soulful expression of each animal through careful layering and fine detail.
I work from photographs, using high-quality materials to create lifelike portraits that become treasured keepsakes. In addition to commissions, I also produce original artwork inspired by my love for animals and nature.
During Open Studios, I’ll be demonstrating my drawing process live — from the initial sketch to building up depth, fur texture, and character. You’ll also be able to browse a range of original artwork, fine art prints, greeting cards, and gift merchandise.
Whether you’re a pet lover, an art enthusiast, or simply curious about how these portraits come to life, I’d love to welcome you to my space. Come and chat, ask questions or watch the pencils in action.
Follow me on Instagram @gillianselftaughtartist for a behind-the-scenes look at my latest projects and studio life. And if you’re thinking about a commission, feel free to bring a favourite photo of your pet!
