Service Summary

To find-out what I can do for you, simply send me:
a) one or two photographs of the subject (by email or post),
b) a brief description of the picture you would like (e.g. media or size requirements), and
c) a deadline for completion (if the picture is required for a Birthday or Anniversary, etc).
Please see my Commission Process Summary page for full details.

Free help and advice
I will not take-on your portrait commission if the photos you supply are very poor quality. I cannot emphasize enough, that poor quality (tiny or blurry) photos will not allow me to capture a good and detailed likeness. We will both end-up disappointed with the results.
I do not need perfect photos; just please remember that I cannot draw or paint a face I cannot see properly. Please see my Taking and Selecting Photos page.

No Deposit* & Satisfaction Guaranteed
I'll quote a guaranteed price, and start work on your commission only when we have discussed and agreed all the details.
All finished artwork is scanned and submitted for your Inspection, by email or post (300dpi print).
There is absolutely no obligation to buy the finished picture if you don't like it; I'll invoice you for my work only if you are delighted with the portrait.
I attempt to give customers every opportunity to reject the finished artwork before payment and dispatch, but, if you are not happy with your portrait - in the flesh - I will still refund the purchase price, less any fees incurred (on safe return of the item).

* A deposit may be required on any commission exceeding £150.
