Commissions Information

Contact Me:
E-mail here
Phone: 07854 677416

I am available for pet portraits and people portraits and accept commissions from all over the UK as well as International. As I work from photographs, you can E-mail me images for me to take a look at and we can discuss requirements via phone or e-mail. Images should be around 300dpi and in the form of a jpeg. Please note that the end product of the work depends very much on the quality of the photograph, so please bear this in mind on your choice of images.
If you do not have any good photographs of the subject who are no longer with us, you can send a collection of photos you do have and I can use a little artistic licence to recreate it. The work in progress can be viewed on my website should you require this so you can stay updated with what is happening, plus it is also nice to see how the piece comes together.
For people ordering via the Internet, a deposit of 30% is required on the start of the piece (I may have other works to complete first)
On completion of the Artwork, I shall send you an E-mail with a jpeg image attached of the final piece,  for you to check and clarify before I post out to you.


Artists Mediums

Picture

Picture
I work with 5 different mediums:- Graphite pencils, Coloured pencils, Acrylic paints, Oil paints and pastels. As my style of Artwork is deeply intricate, each medium gives a very different finish whilst retaining the fine detailing that is very important to me in each and every piece of work.  With regards to choosing the medium for your commission, the differences between them are detailed below so that you can choose a custom made picture that is most suitable for you and your portrait subject.
The prices shown to the left are given more as a guide as everyone has different requirements.  Larger commissions are available, just give me as much information about your required commission and I shall get back to you with details and prices.
 The images below the price graphs will hopefully give you a better indication on each medium and finish. All costs and portrait sizes below are given as a guide (For International buyers, please use the currency convertor at the bottom of this page)
Please contact me to discuss your required commission, providing as much detail as you can and including an image or images of the subject 
Please Note:Very intricate Artwork prices may vary. Artwork can take anywhere between 2 - 8 weeks and if you have a completion date for your commission please let me know before I begin as each piece works on a first come first serve basis unless specified.

Ensure you also allow time for any professional framing you will require as due to personal preference, higher costs and possible damage in transit, the completed piece of Artwork will not be framed by me unless it has been discussed and agreed by both parties before hand.

It may not always be possible to take on a commission straight away. Please contact me for availability and time scale for your piece. If you have a rush job I will try to accomodate. As soon as you know you want a picture, then we will discuss a deadline and work to it, however if there is no date specified, the piece will be completed on a first come first serve basis.
