Commission a portrait

How does it work?

Please get in touch to arrange a chat about your ideas for the portrait.

Ideally, we’d organise at least one meeting with the sitter so I can make sketches and take some photos to work from back in my studio. I am also happy to work from photographs, as long as the photographer has given written permission for them to be used as a reference.

I paint with high quality oil paint on wooden panel or canvas - we can discuss which surface would suit your project best.

How long does it take?

Please allow plenty of time (especially if the portrait is for a special occasion) as the whole process can take anything from a few weeks to a few months, depending on the size and complexity of the painting. I can give a better idea of timeframe after our initial conversation.

How much does it cost?

Portraits are priced individually depending on their size, complexity, and number of subjects. Please get in touch for a personalised quote.
