Commissioning a Portrait
Types of portraits on offer.
All portraits are unframed
Portraits in oil are on medium grain canvas and are a standard size for ready made frames and professional frames alike.
Pastel Portraits are on a neutral colour pastel paper and include a card mount.
Watercolour Portraits are on good quality watercolour paper and include a card mount.
Pencil Portraits are on smooth white paper and include a card mount.
To commission a portrait I require a good clear photograph showing the actual pose, facial details and the correct colour preferably taken outside without a flash. I can alter some details i.e. remove a bridle or headcollar etc. but prefer it to be as accurate as possible. I also prefer the photo to be sent by mail rather than e-mailed as the colours vary with different printers.
A 3/4 angle usually works best for horses.
If you have any doubts about the photos just e-mail me a jpg and I will let you know if I think it will be suitable. (If I think I can work from it then you can send it to me).
No deposit is required, the full amount to be paid on completion. I will e- mail or send a photograph of the finished portrait to you for your approval and I will dispatch the portrait to you on receipt of payment. I accept payments by Paypal or (If paying by cheque when your cheque has cleared). There is no obligation and a full refund will be given if not completely satisfied and the portrait is returned.
Caring for your portrait
Dust lightly with a soft cloth or feather duster. Do not wet. Do not hang in direct sunlight or above a heat source.
