" Hi Karen
It’s our daughter’s first wedding anniversary on 2 November and as that’s paper I was thinking of finding them a small sketch of the venue where they married - Hexham House ( in Hexham ) Is this something you would undertake & could it be done in the time we have available? "
" Hi Karen
It’s our daughter’s first wedding anniversary on 2 November and as that’s paper I was thinking of finding them a small sketch of the venue where they married - Hexham House ( in Hexham ) Is this something you would undertake & could it be done in the time we have available? "
The commissioned coloured pencil portrait of Hexham House in Northumberland was undertaken for a returning client, Julia. She had previously arranged for a portrait of her beautiful black Labrador, Dusky, 2 months prior. The reference image was provided by Julia through email, containing several photos she had taken on the wedding day. This eliminates potential copyright violations from using online photographs, which are the sole property of the respective photographers and require explicit permission for usage. From the array of provided photos, Julia selected a composition that she deemed the most suitable from the mock-ups I had created, the artwork can be seen below.
It is a rare occurrence for me to receive requests for building portraits similar to the one illustrated, which is regrettable as I find enjoyment in producing such artwork. This departure from the ordinary is a source of great satisfaction and provides me with an opportunity to engage with the technical aspects of the subject and uncover its historical significance of such buildings. The most recent undertaking of this nature dates back to 2013, when I portrayed Wynyard Hall in Stockton-on-Tees,UK.
When a completion date is requested, I always make every effort to work within the specified timeframe. Certain projects, such as a large and intricate 16 x 20 inch painting, may not be feasible to complete within a week, despite having been requested. Conversely, a small portrait is more manageable within a short span of time. For example, in this case, I began the project on the 12th, finalised it on the 29th of October, and subsequently dispatched to the customer on the following day via Royal Mail special delivery.
