Custom Watercolour church or wedding venue painting

**Pre-order for January 2025 dispatch. Unfortunately I am fully booked for Christmas commissions.**

A personalised watercolour painting of your church or wedding venue to have a tangible memory on your wall of a place of meaning and great joy. Painted by commission for a completely unique beautiful piece of art.

Commission a custom illustrated wedding venue or church

If you're looking for a custom illustrated piece of art for your home or to give to someone special, perhaps as a wedding gift, a baptism gift, a birthday gift, a house warming gift or an anniversary gift, this is just the thing!

Choose any building of meaning - it could be your wedding venue, your home church, the church you got baptised in, the national trust building where you got engaged... really, the sky is the limit. A place that brings you joy that you would love to look at, framed in your home - this is a tangible memory of your favourite place.

Each custom portrait is hand-painted on 300gsm watercolour paper with the highest quality of deeply pigmented watercolour paint and finished with black ink to define edges.

You will receive your unique painting unframed, beautifully wrapped in tissue paper, protected by thick board and ready to give as a gift or as a special treat for yourself. I can give advice about framing if you are unsure.

How to order, the process and timeline.

After purchasing, simply send a high-quality picture in colour of the church, wedding venue or other place you would like painted via email to hello@andhopedesigns.com. If there is small detail in your image, close up pictures would be great to send too!

Whether the artwork is landscape or portrait will depend on what best fits the image you send unless you have specified a preference via message.

Timing of commissions.

Each illustration is hand drawn and painted with watercolour before adding the final touch of black ink lines. These take time.

Depending on demand, this may take up to 3 weeks to dispatch, but usually take a week to 10 days.

If your order is time sensitive, please get in touch before ordering to make sure I can accommodate. I’ll always try to work to deadlines, but do check beforehand so you are't disappointed!

What do you draw?

I draw a variety of buildings or scenes - from flats, houses and bungalows, to farms, churches and other wedding venues. Please note your illustration will be in the style you see in the photographs and videos above.

I sketch from the perspective in the photograph you provide and include some background such as sea, flowers, pavements, etc. Please let me know if there are details you do not want included in your illustration (drain pipes, specific trees, grave stones in a church illustration, etc)

Please be as specific as possible with which elements you want excluded. I can also add little things like a wreath on the door, flower pots and leaves on trees!

Postage & packaging

All orders will be sent Royal Mail tracked post, wrapped with tissue paper and shipped in a cardboard backed envelope (with extra cardboard for larger pictures) inside a letterbox box to prevent your painting being accidentally bent in transit. This combination of wrapping is all eco friendly and recyclable (I also reuse packaging such a bubble wrap when it is in good condition), and works well to keep your piece of art in perfect condition while it journeys to you.

Unfortunately due to the custom nature of this artwork I will be unable to accept returns and refunds.

If you have any questions please contact me before you order, I’d love to help.
