PRIVATE COMMISSIONS
Commissioning a bespoke artwork should feel exciting, not overwhelming. I’m here to make the process as seamless and enjoyable as possible, guiding you every step of the way. A successful piece isn’t just about likeness; it’s about creating a work that reflects your essence and speaks to your individuality.
​​​​​​​​​MY PROCESS​
​
Stage One: Exploring Your Vision
The first step is understanding exactly what you want to achieve. Whether you’re after a portrait, group portrait, narrative painting, landscape, still life, or even a pet portrait, we’ll discuss your goals in detail. We’ll also consider the best medium for the project—be it oil, charcoal, or graphite—and ensure the size complements both the space and your vision.
​
Stage Two: Collaborating
Once we’ve agreed on the details, it’s all about working closely together. To get the best result, I’ll visit you in person to take photo references, ensuring the setting and lighting perfectly capture your vision. From there, I’ll begin the painting process, which typically takes several months. This time allows for the careful layering and refinement needed to create a truly bespoke piece, ensuring that every detail resonates with your personality and the story you want the artwork to tell.
Stage Three: Finishing Touches
After the work is complete, we’ll review it together. Whether it needs framing, varnishing, or a plinth, I’m here to ensure it’s finished perfectly. I’ll also help with shipping or installation if needed, so your artwork finds its rightful place.
