- Natural daylight, with no harsh flash or heavy shadows.

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
Some things don't need explaining, a dad's hug is just one of them. It's not something he announces; it's just there when it matters, and it's his.
This is an artist-reimagined watercolour print made from a photo you choose: the two of you, a family shot, or the moment of the hug itself. Our artists digitally paint it in a warm, soft watercolour style, the finished piece looks like something he'd find on a gallery wall, not a photo you had printed. It's the kind of gift he'd stare at and not quite know what to say, which is usually the point.
It suits Father's Day, a milestone birthday, or simply a moment when you want to give Dad something that outlasts a card. If you're not sure it's right, you don't have to guess, we send a free digital proof before anything prints, so you can take your time and approve every detail.
- Three sizes: 21×29.7 cm, 30×40 cm and 45×60 cm
- Optional wood frame in Black, White or Natural (+£30), framed and ready to hang
- Delivered in days, printed close to you
Frequently asked questions
Can I use any photo of me and my dad?
Yes, upload the photo you love most when you place your order. Our artists will reimagine it as a watercolour portrait and send you a free digital proof to approve before we print anything.
What if the proof doesn't look right?
Tell us and we'll revise it. Nothing prints until you're happy with the digital proof, so there's no risk of a finished print that misses the mark.
Which size works best for a portrait of two people?
The 30×40 cm size is the most popular for people portraits, large enough to do justice to two faces and a comfortable fit on most walls. If you want something more prominent, the 45×60 cm makes a proper statement piece.
Can I order it framed and ready to hang?
Yes. Add a wood frame in Black, White or Natural at checkout for an extra £30. It arrives ready to hang, so there's nothing left to sort on the day.
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.
