The Process

THE PROCESS: After I have received your initial enquiry, we will discuss your ideas and preferences of size and style, etc. The next step is to have a look through your photographs and come to a decision about the final details of the portrait. Once I begin painting I will send you progress images in various stages as we go along to ensure everything looks the way you want it. 

VERIFICATION: When the portrait is completed, I will send a digital proof of the final painting to you via e-mail. Only if you are completely happy with this image will I ask for payment. 

SIZES: Portraits may be any dimension you prefer. I use a combination of acrylic /water colour paints and coloured pencils, charcoals & pastels. The finished painting is also sprayed with a fixative to ensure its safety and long life. 

PHOTOGRAPHS: The quality, detail and realism of your portrait will be greatly determined by the quality of the photos you provide.  Please see Photographs for Portraits for some handy hints regarding selecting and taking photographs.
