Scarlett Lewis is a portrait artist specializing in creating detailed hand-drawn portraits using soft pencils, as well as painted works in watercolor or acrylic. Based in Swansea, she accepts portrait commissions from clients across the UK. Unlike traditional portrait artists who rely on live sittings, Scarlett works exclusively from digital photographs provided by her customers via email.

Commissioning a Portrait.

Commissioning a portrait through my website is simple and personalized. Start by browsing my portfolio to find a style that suits your vision. Once you’ve decided, submit a high-quality photograph of the subject and any preferences for background or details. I’ll discuss the portrait with you to ensure I capture exactly what you want. Throughout the process, I provide updates and offer the chance to review the work before completion, so you can request any changes. I aim to create a portrait that truly reflects your vision, resulting in a piece you’ll treasure.

Pencil Portraits

Acrylic Portraits

Other Paintings

Although I create my work from photographs rather than meeting the subject face-to-face, I strive to be as approachable as possible throughout the entire process. Before I begin, I take the time to discuss your portrait in detail with you. Additionally, I always offer the chance to review a scan of your portrait when it’s nearly finished, allowing you to suggest any changes you'd like.

My ultimate goal is to ensure you're completely satisfied with the final artwork, which is why many of my clients return for future commissions.
