Private Commission/ Portrait

FAQs

Do you work from photos?

Yes. Pictures from profile, smiling and serious. Feel free to include website or social media links if the profiles are public.  This information is very important for me to start working on your commission. 

How does it work?

Once we agree the style, size and fee, I will need access to some photographs. It would be great to think about the style of clothes you, the child or the person in the artwork would like to be wearing, and any other important elements that will add more personality to the artwork.

I will contact you with pencil roughs. This is your chance to change, add or delete  any element in the sketch. After approval of the sketches I can start working on your artwork. When your portrait is ready I will send you a low resolution image of your portrait for you to see before I send it to print.

How long does it take?

It is usually two months from the time you commission your portrait to arrival at your door. This might vary at busy times so please make sure to order well in advance if you need your portrait for an anniversary, celebration or specific date.

How do I pay?

I would ask you to deposit 50% non-refundable of the fee to start working and 50% before I send the artwork to be printed. You will receive a link via my online shop. I accept credit cards, Venmo, and Apple Pay.

Something else I need to know?

Artwork is for personal use only. Artwork can’t be resold, altered, adapted or manipulated in any way. Artwork should not be used on a logo or for commercial purposes.
