"Sassi" A commissioned pet portrait (2019)
Commission me
In general,I divide my commissions into 2 types as set out below. For each of these I am very happy to work with you in deciding composition and/or size, or I can follow your instructions if you have a very clear view of what you want. Either way I will put every effort into creating something that will exceed your expectations.
​
My speciality is in painting animal and plant life so pet portraits or paintings of any animals/plants that you or your loved one are particularly fond of will be right up my street! However, this does not mean that I'm not happy to take on commissions of other subjects. I will only accept commissions that I am confident I can complete to the highest quality so if you are unsure, then please do ask and I will let you know.
​
Please do feel free to send a message via the "contact me" page if you would like to enquire - I am very happy to hear any ideas you have!
Painting
My paintings put emphasis on detail both in physically being detailed and in capturing the most authentic character of the subject. These tend to take the longest amount of time due to the medium requiring extensive drying time during and after completion.
Usually I paint in oil but I can also use acrylic where required. Either way, I use premium, light-fast materials to ensure long lasting quality.
Drawing
Pricing will be determined on an individual basis depending on the amount of work and your budget but I do have some price guides that can be used for reference
Graphite and ink drawing is where i started my artistic practice and is an important part of every piece I create. I prefer to keep drawing commissions fairly small (max A4) due to the time and incredible detail that I put into each one but this size will look fantastic! These can also be mounted on request.
