Artist Paints Cute Watercolor Pet Portraits

The animal lovers among you will be glad to become acquainted with the interesting work of a young French artist called Delphine Dion. She has been a freelance illustrator for three years now and her portfolio consists of numerous adorable watercolor portraits of animals.

Dion posted her art on Bored Panda and shared that she’s always been interested in nature and animals and that’s why she decided to study ecology. Drawing has been her hobby ever since she was a little girl, although she claims she was never really very good at it.

Nevertheless, everything changed when she became more serious about drawing and painting and discovered watercolor. Dion started posting her artwork online and decided to turn this into a business when she got positive feedback. Now she sells her watercolor pet portraits worldwide.

“For me, this is the perfect job, but the thing I love most about it is when people see their pet’s portrait for the first time, and it makes them so happy,” the artist said.

“My style has evolved throughout these years to achieve what I realize today: semi-realistic illustrations in a soft and rounded style full of life thanks to bright colors, combining watercolors and colored pencils, always linked to the animal world and Nature.”

Check out these lovely watercolor paintings in the photos below.

Parmi les commandes de Noël, j’ai eu la chance de faire mon premier portrait de lapin, une lapine plus précisément, qui porte le nom de Boubouille et qui adore se prélasser sur son petit lit ! 🐰Je n’ai jamais eu de lapin, et j’avais quelques a priori sur cet animal de compagnie (qui me parait avoir une santé trop fragile et une personnalité peut-être trop indépendante), mais j’ai découvert beaucoup de choses dernièrement qui m’ont complètement changer d’avis ! Avez-vous déjà eu un lapin chez vous ?⠀ .⠀ 👉 Pour plus d’info sur les commandes, rdv par MP ou sur le site Internet (lien dans la bio).⠀ ***⠀ 🇬🇧 Amongst the Christmas commissions, I had the chance to make my first portrait of a rabbit. This is Boubouille, a cute female rabbit who loves relaxing on her little bed ! 🐰 I never had a rabbit and I had preconceived ideas about this pet (a fragile health and a very independant personnality) but I have discovered a lot of thing lately so I completely changed my mind ! Have ever had a rabbit ?⠀ .⠀ 👉 For more infos on commissions, contact me in DM or on the website (link in bio).⠀ ***⠀ #rabbit #bunny #rabbitlovers #lapin #rabbitsofinstragram #rabbitlove #bunnies #bunnylove #bunnystagram #passionlapin #lapinou #pinou #cutebunny #petstagram #portraitlapin #petportrait #watercolorportrait #cutepetportrait #cute #bunnyartwork #rabbitart #animaldrawing #rabbitdrawing #petdrawing #lapinmignon

Bonne année à tous !!! 🎉🥳⠀ J’espère que vous avez passé un bon réveillon et que vous avez attaqué 2020 du bon pied 😄⠀ En ce qui me concerne je ne reprendrai les pinceaux que dans 3 jours. Mais je peux quand même vous présenter Touic-Touic, un petit lapin échevelé sur toile qui a été offert à Noël 🐇🎄Sa maîtresse étant fan de la couleur violette, j’ai adapté le fond pour que ça ne soit pas surchargé de couleur non plus. Comment trouvez-vous le résultat ? 😊⠀ Pour avoir les informations sur les commandes de portraits, ça se passe par mp ou sur le site internet (lien dans la bio).⠀ Iris⠀ ***⠀ 🇬🇧 Happy New Year everyone !!! 🎉🥳⠀ I hope you had a good Christmas Eve and started 2020 on the right foot 😄⠀ As far as I am concerned, I will only take my brushes again in 3 days. But I can show you Touic-Touic, a little disheveled rabbit on canvas that was offered at Christmas 🐇🎄His mistress being a fan of the purple color, I adapted the background so that it is not overloaded with color. How do you find the result? 😊⠀ For information on portrait commissions, contact me by pm or on the website (link in the bio).⠀ Iris⠀ ***⠀ #animal #animals #rabbit #rabbits #rabbitstagram #rabbitlover #rabbitloversclub #lapin #lapins #monlapin #commission #painting #petportait #rabbitportrait #portraitdelapin #lapinnain #pet #pets #petsofinstagram #commande #ideecadeau

Ce petit Bruce a rejoint son humaine de l’autre côté de l’Atlantique, en Floride, en compagnie de Lucky, le petit chien blanc que vous pouvez voir sur la deuxième image. Ces deux loulous sont malheureusement décédés mais sont tellement aimés que leur humaine souhaitait faire faire un portrait pour chacun. Ils sont maintenant immortalisés et elle peut les voir chaque jour ! ⠀ Faire réaliser le portrait d’un animal décédé est un bel hommage à lui faire et vous permet de garder son image auprès de vous ❤️⠀ Pour plus d’infos, n’hésitez pas à m’envoyer un MP ou me contacter sur le site Internet (lien dans la bio). Delphine *** 🇬🇧 Little Bruce have joined his hooman across the Atlantic, in Florida, with Lucky his little white dog fellow (swipe up to see Lucky). They have both sadly passed away but they were so loved by their hooman that she wanted to have a portrait for both. They are now immortalized and she can see them every day ! ⠀ Having a portrait of a deceasing pet done is a beautiful tribute and thanks to it, you can keep an image of your beloved pet close to you ❤️⠀ For more info, do not hesitate to DM me or contact me on the GreenyPaw website (link in bio).
