How to order a portrait
Please contact me by e-mail or by phone if you need a quote, or if you have any questions regarding the service.
If you would like to commission a portrait e-mail your request and a good quality photographs that you may have as an attachment to an e-mail sent from my Contact page. A photograph of the face of a similar size and profile to the portrait paintings on this web page would be useful as a starting point.
I will contact you to discuss the photograph provided and the portrait with you. I am always happy to discuss your particular requirements with no commitment.
The size of the unframed portrait would on average be approximately 350mm wide and 500mm high.
I accept commissions working from you photographs provided they are of an acceptable quality.
I can discuss the working brief and the individual price with you at our initial contact.
The price for a portrait would be from £180 and I will need an initial deposit. I'm happy to discuss the price and the deposit with you.
If requested as part of the service I can aIso provide a digital profile of the finished portrait which can be used as a unique profile image on the contact pages of social media sites (see Thumbnail Images page).
Timescales
On average I would aim to provide a portrait within 4 weeks. Timescales vary according to the complexity of the piece and my current commitments. It is sometimes possible to accommodate a particular date, but please enquire as much in advance as possible if you have such a date in mind. I will aim to confirm a likely timescale at the outset of the project and following discussions I will send a contract to be agreed by the client which specifies timescales, price and deposit fee. When the work is nearly finished I will send you a photo by e-mail for you to check. I can make alterations if you would like me to change something. When you are satisfied you can send the finished painting out to you. I send paintings out unframed.
