Commission guidelines and prices
Let's discuss what you would like, and I will plan accordingly.
Portraits
I will advise you on how best to go about taking the reference photo(s) after we've discussed the composition.
Materials and framing:
I work on wood (sometimes canvas) for portraits, and I use oil paints which can take weeks or longer to cure. I will then varnish as per your wishes (matt or gloss), and have it framed (if this is what we have agreed).
Prices vary by size
As a guide: Portraits (*all except 'classical oil glazing' see note below)
A3 £289 (plus framing & shipping)
A2 £579 (plus framing & shipping)
A1 £1150 (plus framing & shipping)
*'classical oil glazing' portraits are charged at twice the above rates due to the lengthy, time-consuming process which may take around four to six weeks to paint and dry.
Little Nudes
I will use references that suit the vibe and style you are after. *Nude reference shots that I use will not be shared*
Materials and framing: I work on canvas for the Little Nudes. I use oil paints which can take weeks or longer to cure. I will then varnish as per your wishes (matt or gloss), and have it framed (if this is what we have agreed).
Price varies by size, as a guide:
40cm x 21cm £130 (plus framing & postage)
All commission work
A non-refundable deposit of 50% is due upfront. I check in with you half way though my work process to check you are happy. Remainder is due once I've finished the painting and before I arrange framing.
