Please do not hesitate to contact me via the contact form below, if you have any questions or require a quote. I am here to assist, and there is no obligation to proceed. When you are ready, we can discuss the specifics of your portrait, including size and pose, through a phone call or email. I encourage you to review the gallery and let me know if there are any styles that resonate with you. You will also be asked when the artwork is expected to be finished by such as birthday or another celebration date.

Take several different angled photos of the subject as this will give me a rounded understanding such as the the lay of the fur if its an animal portrait or close up images of key features on a building if its for a building portrait. I’ll need a picture taken preferably on a digital camera however a phone camera will be ok. Photos will need to be close up, clear, in natural light and not filtered. When you have some pictures you think may be suitable, email them over and we can have a discussion about which might work best. Usually it can take quite a number of conversations or emails to sort out the photograph reference but this is all part of the process and well worth the effort. When we’ve decided which key photo I’ll be copying from, I’ll begin with mock up and once youre happy for me to commence I will require a non-refundable deposit this will cover getting order in the diary and purchasing of equipment such as paints and canvas if required

I will send you images of the outline to see if the are any adaptations to any features such as foliage on a building or position of body parts on the animal such as legs and ears etc. If I do come across any hurdles during the commssion I will contact you as soon as I can so that we can come up with a suitable conclusion.

Once you are satisfied with the finished artwork, you have the option to either collect it in person or have it shipped to your address. We want to ensure that you receive your piece in a way that is most convenient for you.
