Commissions
COMMISSIONING A CUSTOM PAINTING
My paintings are hand-painted using highest quality watercolours on 100% cold pressed cotton paper. Every painting I make is created with love and care and I aim to capture not only a true likeness but also the character of the subject I’m working on.
HOW TO ORDER
If you would like to order your custom painting, please send an email to [email protected] and I will get back to you within 48 hours.
Please include a selection of photographs of your subject and let me know what size you had in mind. A good reference photo for me to work from is important, as this will form the basis of the painting. The best photos are clear and well lit (ideally in natural light). We can then discuss which photo would work best for a painting in the desired size.
In order to book your painting, I accept a non-refundable 50% deposit. I then work on your painting and once it’s ready to be viewed, I will send you some photos of the portrait to ensure you’re happy with the finished product.
Once the remaining 50% balance is paid, I will then package your painting securely and send it to you via international registered post. I always give a tracking number so you will know when your painting will be arriving.
My waiting time varies depending on availability and paintings can take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months. If you need something in a rush, let me know and I may be able to accommodate a shorter turnaround.
I usually take payments through PayPal but you don’t need an account as I can send a payment request via email.
Please note that commissioned artwork may be shared on my social media galleries – if you would like to opt out of this due to privacy or gifting purposes, please let me know when placing your order.
PRICES AND SIZES
My prices include free tracked shipping anywhere in the world.
Custom sizes are also available on request, please email me for more information. For USD, please allow for the possibility of a few dollars variation in prices, depending on the time the currency conversion is made.
Please note that the above prices are subject to change (if you have already secured your place on my waiting list with a deposit, you will not be affected by price increases).
MULTIPLE FIGURES IN ONE PAINTING
For paintings with more than one animal/person, I charge 20% extra per additional figure.
VOUCHERS
Vouchers for custom made paintings are available. Vouchers are a great option if you’re looking to give a portrait as a gift and you want your recipient to choose their own photos. They are also ideal if you are short on time and need a gift as soon as possible. I can post a physical voucher to you or I can provide you with a digital version instantly.
