1. How much does a portrait cost?  The cost varies a lot depending on what size you require, how many persons are in the painting, I always ask clients to email their particular requirements so I can supply a bespoke and individual quote.

As a rough guide a small painting starts from £600 pounds, a medium size painting between £3000 to £5,000 pounds, a large painting from £7,000 to £18,000 pounds, very large oversize painting price on request. 

 

2. How long does a portrait take?  A portrait painting takes from 2 weeks to a maximum of 3 to 6 months to complete depending on size and complexity of the composition.

​

3. How do I commission a portrait?  To commission a portrait is a very simple process, once the size and fee have been agreed, you can email or post me your reference photos or I can arrange to visit you to take my own reference photographs, I can also arrange if required to have a professional photographer to take reference shots on my behalf if based outside the UK.

​

4. Can you work from photograph's or do I have to pose for you?  I work from photographs simply because it would be unrealistic and impractical to expect the client to pose for me for many hours every day for many weeks.

​

5. How do I get my finished painting? Your finished portrait will be delivered by secure courier with a tracking reference emailed to you so you can follow its progress whilst in transit, I can ship artwork to anywhere in the world, I also personally deliver paintings myself when time and location allows this.

​

6. How do I pay?  I accept bacs, cheque, PayPal and credit card, a 50 percent deposit is required on starting and the outstanding balance only due on completion and approval of the finished artwork.

​

7. What happens if I don't like my portrait?  I offer a full refund if the final artwork is not of the same standard as that shown on my website. I have never had a rejected portrait in all of the many years I have been offering my services, however for peace of mind it’s nice to know.

​

8. Can you paint my pet or particular animal? Yes, I also paint clients' pets including equestrian, cats and dogs. Plus wildlife paintings including lions, tigers or any animal you wish.

​

9. Is the finished painting framed? Yes, all paintings as part of the cost include professional framing and all delivery costs including outside of the UK.
