The Creative Process
When it comes to custom art commissions, something I value highly is the communication and trust I share with my clients. When you commission a piece from me I make it my mission to make you feel like you're being listened to and kept involved throughout the entire process. I therefore find having clearly-defined stages for this process starts us both off on the same page.
How quickly does it take to complete a portrait?
This heavily depends on my availibility, number of faces in the portrait and whether the artwork is digital or not. Minimum expected time for completion is 5 working days.

What media do you offer for custom, non-digital portraits?
I can create artwork in graphite pencil, coloured pencil, ink and acrylic paints.
Can you combine elements from multiple photos into one portrait?
I am happy to amalgamate several photos into one portrait - I just request that I'm given a selection of photos to choose from per person/pet.
Yes. In my initial conversation with a client I ask that they send me 3 well-lit, non-blurry photos of the subject. Ideally these will be digital photographs or scanned copies of printed photos. This is so that I can choose my favourite of the selection. In the case of Live Wedding Drawing and Live Birthday Drawing I'll work from a photo taken on the day either by me or the hired photographer.
I request that a third of the fee is to be paid before commencement of the drawing, with the rest to be paid on completion. Prices do not include packaging and shipping costs. Payments are to be made via bank transfer.
For Live Drawing portraits £100 deposit is to be made on the day of booking to secure the day. Th rest of the fee is to be paid in the week leading up to the event.
Yes. I will send a low-res, watermarked, digital picture of the portrait for you to approve before the final payment will be requested.
