Frequently asked questions about commissioning a painting:
I want a painting of my pet, how do I get that?
I don’t have a waiting list for my pet watercolours, I try to release a few slots each month, to be the first to find out about them sign up to be notified by email 24 hours before I announce them on Instagram. To do this follow this link, scroll down, choose the type of pet portrait you would like, and enter your email.
I want a painting of my children/me/my wife/any other human, how do I get that?
I insist on taking my own reference photos for human portraits. So the first step is to email me, I will let you know when I have availability to paint a portrait. If that time frame works for you we will organise a time for me to either travel to your home, or for you to travel to my home so I can take some reference photos. Before this happens I will take a non-refundable deposit of £150. Once that is done I will send you another email with different options and exact price quotes. Once you have chosen which size and pose you want I will send you an invoice for the remaining balance. Once this is paid I will start painting, and once the painting is finished I will arrange delivery.
How much will my painting cost?
For pet watercolours I have fixed prices ranging from £185-£365 depending on size of paper and number of pets. This includes free worldwide delivery.
For human portraits I have minimum prices for one, two, and three people.
Single portrait 8x10 inch: £320
Double portrait 16 X 20: £850
Triple portrait 18X24nch: £1350
However if a pose requires a larger canvas, want to include some interior background detail, or a pet, then the price will increase.
These prices include me taking the picture and travelling up to 1 hour from my house in east London. If you live father away than that you can travel to me, or pay my travel expenses and for my extra time, to travel to you.
These prices also do not include delivery. You are always welcome to come and pick up the painting from my flat, or for a fee I can arrange a delivery for you. This varies depending on the size of the portrait and where you are based.
