Guide Prices
I use the highest grade coloured pencil, Caran d’Ache Luminance and Faber-Castell Polychromos, on hot-pressed Fabriano paper for their lightfast and archive qualities to ensure enduring longevity of your portrait.
8 x 6 £165
10 x 8 £210
Through application and patience, the precision and time I put in to each hand drawn piece results in photo realism from a classic drawing style.
The process of building up layers to recreate textures to stunning depth, whether fur or feather, through delicately placed pencil strokes ensures each bespoke portrait captures its subject's heart and essence.
Custom Portrait Commissions
On agreeing on a portrait size, reference photographs, price and timescale, once we’ve had a discussion and you’re ready to book a commission, a deposit secures your booking. Once the deposit has been received your commission starts. I will keep you updated at stages of the drawing process so you can watch your pet come to life on paper.
Reference Photos
Photos you supply should ideally be clear and of high resolution. Taken at eye level - a good quality headshot is ideal - photos taken in natural light preferably outdoors are best to work from. I need to be able to see your pet’s eyes clearly in order to best capture their essence and character. The better the photograph, the better the drawing.
Completion
When your portrait is completed, I will send you a photo of the finished piece. Once you are happy, the remaining payment can be made. Your artwork will be presented mounted.
Delivery
If you’re local to South Norfolk, I can offer to deliver your portrait in person. If I’m unable to deliver, your portrait will be delivered to you via Royal Mail Tracked Delivery.
Book Your Portrait
Once you have decided on the size of the portrait, contact me so we can discuss the next step.
