The boring stuff….
Paintings can be delivered framed or unframed. If you choose unframed, your painting will be supplied with thick, good quality backing board and a colour matched mount, wrapped in cellophane wrap to keep your delicate artwork safe. If you choose framed, I use a reputable supplier who I have found supplies good quality frames with excellent customer service. The below prices are for unframed paintings, please add on £35 for framing on each size.
8 x 8 - £115
10 x 10 - £145
12 x 12 - £165
There is a £30 surcharge for an additional portrait on the same painting and there may be a further additional charge if a painting request is unusually complex. Many other sizes are also available and may suit your idea or choice of photograph better. Please contact me for a more accurate quote.
Now offering NEW MINIATURES as a less expensive, desktop size, full body painting of your furbaby. A great way to for owners of multiple pets to have a portrait of all their whole family! Miniatures start at £45 for a 4 x 4 and additional animals can be added for £15 per animal (see my recent Instagram post for an example).
I try to deliver local orders personally where possible, orders from further afield will incur postage which is charged as extra. International shipping may incur taxes.
How to place a commission.
It could not be easier to commission your own art. Simply fill out the contact form or send me an email to discuss your idea.
All my paintings are hand-sketched then hand-painted in watercolour on top quality, 300gsm, cold pressed, cotton paper.
Where applicable, I work from good quality photographs, where the lighting is good and details are visible. Please note that when doing a representative painting, the better the photo, the better the outcome; see here for some photograph examples.
Turnaround time is 2-3 weeks depending on availability. Paintings are done in order of enquiry but, please let me know if you are working to a deadline and I will do my best to organise paintings accordingly. Photos of your painting will be sent for approval throughout the process.
A £25 (non refundable) booking fee will be taken at the booking stage for materials and the balance will be payable upon delivery.
