Custom sizes are also available and can be quoted upon request. Pricing remains the same whether your commission is a landscape, seascape, wildlife painting, or pet portrait.
After our initial contact, the first step is to share your photographs with me. Here is how we will use them depending on your chosen subject:
Once you have shared your photographs and we have discussed your vision, I can digitally adjust the layout using Photoshop if needed. Often, moving certain elements around creates a much more balanced and pleasing composition. While this process is most common for pet portraits and wildlife pieces, I can easily adapt landscape layouts as well. This collaborative step ensures your composition is exactly how you want it before I ever touch a brush to canvas.
Once we are ready to move forward, I request a £75 deposit to secure your place on my waiting list. I work on a strict first-come, first-served basis, meaning my painting schedule follows the exact order of bookings received. I will provide you with estimated start and completion dates for your artwork during our initial consultation.
Accepted Payment Methods:
As I work on your commission, I will email you high-quality progress photographs at various stages. This allows you to follow the journey of your artwork and gives you the opportunity to suggest any adjustments or tweaks as we go along. It is always much easier to refine details during these earlier layers of the painting. However, I can still easily tweak elements or make minor changes near the final stages if required, ensuring you are completely happy with the direction of the piece. No surprises!
A custom oil painting takes approximately six weeks to complete, which includes the necessary drying and varnishing time. While the exact start date depends on my current waiting list, I will always provide you with an estimated timeline when you first enquire.
All commissioned paintings are sold unframed. However, if you would like your painting framed, I am very happy to arrange this for you. All of my picture framing is carried out locally by professional framers Geoff and Candy Taylor of 'Cottage Harmony Framing Company', based in Blaenporth, West Wales. They keep a wide variety of high-quality frame mouldings in stock, alongside a vast catalogue from their suppliers that can be ordered specifically for your piece. I can gladly put you in touch with Geoff and Candy to arrange the framing directly, or I can manage the entire framing process on your behalf.
Once your painting is complete, all requested adjustments have been made, and you are entirely happy with the final result, I will email you an invoice for the remaining balance.
Delivery within mainland UK is fully included in the price of all custom commissions. International shipping rates will be quoted individually, based on the size of the painting and your delivery destination. Please note that framed paintings will incur an additional postage and packaging charge due to the extra weight and size.You can read more about our secure delivery and packaging process here.
While this step is entirely optional, I love seeing where my artwork finds its new home. If you would like to email me a photograph of yourself with your finished painting, I would be delighted to feature it on my testimonials page. You can view our gallery of wonderful client photos and reviews here.
