How to order a portrait

Portrait information

How to order a portrait?...
I create each portrait in a two way process, keeping you informed with e-mailed proof images and responding to your comments on any necessary changes. This ensures that the portrait is as life-like and true as possible. Simply e-mail a clear, detailed photograph and description of what you require including portrait size, portrait medium (watercolour or graphite), and what to include, emphasize or remove from the portrait composition.

I'll then prepare a draft composition to help show you how the portrait will look. When your portrait is complete I'll e-mail you a proof image to check if any changes are necessary and repeat this process until you are completely happy. Only then do I request any payment, giving you peace of mind when ordering online.

How much will a portrait cost ?...
Select the portrait price link in the top or side menus on each page to find the portrait prices. Only when you are completely happy with a portrait proof image will I request payment.

How do I pay for a portrait ?...
Choose to pay either by PayPal, Cheque or Bank Transfer.

How long will it take to complete a portrait?...
Portraits are normally completed within 6 to 8 weeks although I can often complete one sooner if necessary for a special occasion or birthday for example. Christmas portrait orders should be placed as early as possible due to high demand.

When you order a portrait from me I want you to be completely happy with the results and recommend me further.

Therefore I'll try my very best to keep you fully informed on progress and give you the opportunity to view a digital proof image of your completed portrait. This two way approach helps to ensure that the portrait is as life-like as possible and gives you the chance to request changes if necessary.

Only when you are completely satisfied with the portrait proof image will I request payment.
