| Boudoir, Bridal, Burlesque, Couple & Celebration Portraiture |
|
| My speciality is creating portraits in a vintage, retro, burlesque and pin up style, a perfect way to pamper yourself or a truly unforgettable gift! No sittings are required, I can work from several good head and shoulders photographs so you can commission a portrait wherever you are in the world! I love creating portraits for couples and brides. If you're having a wedding or civil partnership why not commission a portrait to celebrate your big day? Portraits also make great invitations which show off your unique personalities, so please feel free to ask me about my full invitation & wedding stationery design services. |

Case Study - Elesha the Beautiful Bride "I
discovered Charlotte after reading a feature on the
Rock n Roll Bride blog, and realised that I had also seen some of
her work on the beautiful Love my Dress blog too. I checked out her website,
and loved the styles used for her illustrations, I particularly loved
the glamorous burlesque paintings and the way in which this style is incorporated
into the bridal portraits." |

| Case Study - Amy "After stumbling across Charlottes' work I became an instant fan and purchased 3 pieces, when Charlotte told me she did personal sketches I commissioned one immediately. Charlotte took all my ideas on board and kept me constantly updated on its progress. I've always loved burlesque and the 50s and I'm thrilled with the end result!" |

Case Study - Samantha "I first saw Charlotte's work when she had an exhibition in the View from the Top Gallery in Nottingham in 2007, and was immediately smitten. Her style appealed to me: sexy, strong, playful. confident and above all curvaceous women who harked back to the glory days of the 1950's... everything I want to be! At first I wanted one of her artworks, but upon speaking to Charlotte I realised that the narcissist in me really wanted a portrait in her inimitable style. After a few email exchanges with a couple of photos I'd chosen she had produced a gorgeous sketch, and within weeks she had created a simply stunning piece of art. I had been immortalised in paint, with the Charlotte Thomson twist." |

"I've commissioned many pieces from Charlotte over the last couple of years. I'm always pleased with the results, especially the painting which was a version of myself including my two pet cats. i love to look at a pin up version of myself every day, and was amazed at how she caught my pets' characters just by looking at the photos!" |
