Commissioning a portrait
-
Portraits are done from photographs. I can advise on what makes for the best image, but generally speaking plenty of light, lots of detail and in focus. You can send a number of images from which I can choose the one that will be most suitable.
-
I usually work on approximately A3 size , but will assess each painting to ensure that the work best fits the orientation and size for the most pleasing result.
-
Watercolours are done on acid free archival St Cuthberts Mill Bockingford paper 425g/m2 (200lb), and pencil drawings on acid free Strathmore Bristol paper 270g/m2 (100lb).
-
The price quoted for a portrait is for a single subject, for groups or 'scenes' please contact me and we can discuss options and costs.
