How to Commission a House Portrait
The first step is to contact me by email or telephone on 01503 230678 and let me know what sort of portrait you are interested in, small and simple, large and elaborate or any where in between.
Then I will give you an estimate of the cost of your painting. If you want to go ahead and you are commissioning a fully detailed larger painting I would arrange to come and see your property and take reference photos.
If I am unable to visit I can do a simpler portrait from photographs provided by you, if you want to take some pictures especially for the portrait just contact me and I'll let you know what I need. Don't forget to let me know if you have any pets or any other extras you would like to be included. Also I can include elements of your garden in flower even if they are not at the time of commission, just let me know the name and location of the plant in question.
The next stage would be for me to provide an outline pencil sketch to show you the general layout of the proposed picture. This would normally be sent by email and gives you the opportunity to check that you are happy with the dimensions and details of the work before I start painting. After the painting is completed I will send you a colour photo of the finished picture for approval. If you are happy with this, payment can be sent online by paypal or by post if you prefer to send a cheque. On clearance of the payment I will carefully pack and send your mounted painting to you by recorded delivery. All paintings are delivered free of charge.
