A close-up where the face fills most of the frame.
Natural daylight, with no harsh flash or heavy shadows.
Taken at eye level, looking towards the camera.
Sharp and in focus. A good phone photo is plenty.

Framing & sizing

Why we sell our prints unframed

Most of our prints ship unframed, so you can choose a frame you love rather than pay for one you'd swap out.

Pick your own look. Match the frame to your room, oak, black or white wood, or a mounted gallery style.
Don't pay twice. A frame you didn't choose often gets replaced. Unframed keeps the cost on the artwork.
Ships flat and safe. A flat-packed print travels far better than glass.

Prefer it ready to hang? Add a fitted black, white or natural wood frame at the size step above.

Choosing a frame that fits

Our prints come in three standard sizes, so an off-the-shelf frame is easy to find:

21 × 29.7 cm (A4) — fits any standard A4 frame.
30 × 40 cm — a common ready-made frame size.
45 × 60 cm — a popular large size, also widely sold ready-made.

Two easy ways to frame it:

Frame to size. Buy a frame in the exact size above, no mount needed.
Use a mount (mat). Choose a slightly larger frame with a mount cut to your print size, for a gallery look with a border.

Tip: check the frame's artwork opening (not its outer size), and look for a real glass or acrylic front.

How it'll look on your wall

Here's how the three sizes compare against a standard three-seat sofa (about 2 m wide) and an adult, for scale:

Above a sofa or sideboard, most people choose 30 × 40 or 45 × 60 cm. For a shelf or a gallery wall of several prints, A4 works well.

About this print

The best gifts between friends are the ones that prove you were paying attention. A best friends watercolour portrait takes a favourite photo of the two of you, a night out, a holiday, a moment that became a running joke, and reimagines it as an artist-led digital watercolour: soft washes of colour, the two of you exactly as you are, and all the warmth of a memory worth hanging on the wall.

It's already personal before she's opened it. No guessing her style, no wondering if she already owns one. Send us the photo, and our artists reimagine it in watercolour as a finished portrait made to be kept, then you'll receive a free digital proof by email to check and approve before anything goes to print. Nothing prints until you're happy with it.

Available in three sizes, 21×29.7cm, 30×40cm and 45×60cm, with optional wood frames in Black, White or Natural for an extra £30, from £34.95 to £94.95. Delivery is counted in days, not weeks.

Frequently asked questions

What photo works best for a best friends watercolour?

A clear, well-lit photo where both faces are visible gives the best result, candid shots work as well as posed ones. The closer together and more in focus both people are, the more the finished portrait captures them.

Can I see the watercolour before it's printed?

Yes, every order includes a free digital proof. You'll receive it by email before anything is printed, and you can request changes or approve it when you're ready. Nothing goes to press without your say-so.

Does it come ready to hang, or do I need a frame?

The print arrives unframed by default. If you'd like it frame-ready from the start, add one of our wood frames, available in Black, White or Natural, for an extra £30. Frames are available for all three sizes.

How quickly will it arrive?

Once you approve your digital proof, your print is dispatched and delivered in days. Exact timescales are shown at checkout based on your location, we print close to you to keep delivery fast.

What if I don't like the proof?

Then we change it. The proof stage is there so you can ask for tweaks to the colours, the background or the likeness, and we'll keep revising until you're happy. Nothing goes to print until you approve it.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

Because every print is made to order from your photo, we can't accept returns for a change of mind. You approve a free digital proof before we print anything, so there are no surprises. And if a print arrives damaged or not as approved, we'll put it right straight away.
