About Me

 I am pencil artist & tutor living in Hampshire, UK. I specialise in pencil portraits of Animals & houses. Working from your photographs – I strive to translate the character of the subject onto paper – providing you with a custom portrait to display with pride.

My name is Lucy Colegate and I’ve been selling my portraits for just over 5 years.  Art, especially drawing, has always been a massive passion of mine. Since 2012, I have practiced drawing almost everyday.  Watching my skills improve  was my biggest motivator – proving to myself what can be achieved with hard work.  I also offer one to one tutoring lessons, there’s nothing I love more than passing my skills down to other aspiring artists, and still being able to produce my own commissioned work alongside.

Just want to say a massive thank you to Lucy who has drawn this picture of our lovely dog Ruby who we sadly lost a few weeks ago!!! I can’t believe this is a drawing it’s so realistic! Thank you again!!

Lucy captured my puppy Bertie perfectly – so talented and I will now always have my puppy on view x

Cheryl

The drawing you did of Kite was absolutely amazing. I can’t stop looking at it as the drawing is an exact copy of her. You are such an amazing artist I will definately ask for another commission after Christmas. Thank you. x

I was delighted to receive an original hand draw picture recently as a surprise gift. It was based on a photo and very accurate, in my opinion any picture drawn of a subject know so well to the individual be it a house, person or animal must be to a extremely accurate and this was absolutely achieved in my drawing, highly recommended. Thank you.

Very talented, can’t believe how realistic the drawing is. A lovely gift from brother and his girlfriend. Thank you.

Absolutely stunning work by Lucy….. I had a 3 picture drawing of my clients dogs ( I’m a boarder ).
Lucy’s contact process was great and extremely helpful.
When I went to collect the drawing I was blown away by the detail and realistic look of the drawings.
The owners when received shed a few tears and were lost for words too and now sits proudly in their hall way.

I was fortunate enough to come across Lucy when looking for a local pet portrait artist and I am so glad I did. Lucy’s talent is astounding, and her exquisite portrait has captured the very essence of Monty. Cannot wait to get it framed and displayed where i have no doubt it will gain many admirers. Thank you Lucy 🙂

We commissioned Lucy to draw my beautiful Girl Bobbi! And it’s so good! You would think it was a photograph! But better! Thank you
