FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How does the commission process work?

1. Initial enquiries can be made via my website contact form here or via Facebook. If you are not entirely sure what you are looking for this is not a problem, as I am happy to make suggestions based on the image/s provided. To ensure that you will be happy with the end result I can provide a digital mock-up, allowing you to preview the composition and background before I begin.

2. Once the ideas have been finalised, I will request a non-refundable 30% deposit before starting work on the portrait.

3. Upon completion of the artwork, I will email a photo of the piece for your approval. Once the remaining balance has been transferred, collection or delivery will be arranged.

How long will the portrait take?

Completion times vary depending on the size and complexity, however most portraits are completed within six weeks - often sooner. If you have a deadline in mind, please get in touch and I can confirm my availability. The Christmas period is always very busy, so please book as early as possible to secure your place.

Can you provide the portrait with a frame?

Yes, I am happy to frame the artwork for you. With acrylic paintings on canvas, you also have the option to hang the painting as is. The painting is varnished for protection, so it can be displayed in a number of ways. Framing is charged at cost with a wide range of styles available.

What makes the best photo for you to work from?

An ideal reference photo would be high-resolution and taken at eye-level with the subject.

I understand it is not always feasible to provide the perfect photo, so it is often possible to combine aspects of several images to create the ideal likeness. Similarly, if you require multiple pets within the portrait, these can be combined from separate images.

For more tips on taking reference photos I have put together a comprehensive guide here.
