COMMISSION A PORTRAIT
 



HOW I WORK
 

 

 

 

If you would like to commission your own portrait it is a very simple process. I just need one or two good quality reference photos of your pet to get cracking, you can send them using the form above. I will then invoice you for a £25 (approx. $34 / €30) deposit payable by card or PayPal before booking your portrait into my calendar, this is obviously deducted from the final price of your portrait.

Once the invoice is settled I will give you a date for the proof of your portrait. On this date I will send you a watermarked proof of your portrait for your approval. Any small adjustments to the portrait can be requested and will be booked in for the next available slot in my diary and sent for your approval when completed.

If you love the proof it is as simple as choosing how you would like your finished portrait. I have a range of sizes available and always have lengths of black, white and natural frame available, however, if you have a specific request for frame style please let me know as I can usually accommodate. Once I have your choice and where you live and I will send you an invoice (again, payable by card or PayPal) for the portrait and shipping minus your deposit.

I also have a selection of curated artwork available to buy
here and you can see a gallery to my work here.

All artwork uses genuine Lucia Pro pigment inks on Hahnemühle Fine Art papers for the very highest standard and an archival rating of 200 years. The mounting and framing is bespoke and made uniquely for your artwork. They are double sealed both backboard to glass, and also at the frame rear ensuring no ingress of small foreign objects. Framed artwork has the option of standard glass or anti-reflective Groglass® Artglass.

The quality of the materials and craftsmanship used in creating your artwork and its presentation can't be overstated - you will be delighted with your final piece!


The sizes shown below are for the artwork alone - the mount and frame increase the overall size of the piece by an additional 4" - 8" depending on the size of the artwork. Each piece is custom and the mount size is cut to best compliment the artwork.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

I am still exporting commissioned portraits to the USA. The new import tariff rules will incur two fees, the tariff itself and also a MPF (Merchandise Processing Fee). The tariff is 10% of the total cost including shipping which will be added to the customers invoice, but, I will cover the MPF.

 

All prices are fully inclusive of labour and VAT.


US and EU prices are approx. For current currency exchange rates check here - https://www.xe.com/currencyconverter/
