Welcome to my portrait commission guide. Allow me to take you through the commission process step by step.

​

What does the commission process look like?

​

Let's start by understanding why you want this commission. We'll discuss your preferences and the emotions you want the painting to convey—whether it's capturing moments with your children, commemorating a loved one, or celebrating a milestone.

​

Next, we'll talk about the visual details like size, materials, clothing, and pose that will shape the painting's narrative. Typically, I arrange a photoshoot to connect with the subject, but if that's not possible, you can share pictures for us to choose from.

​

After our discussion, I'll create a preliminary sketch for your approval before starting the painting. I'll keep you updated and open to your feedback throughout the process.

​

Once the painting is done, I'll show you a digital version for approval, and we'll plan for framing and delivery.

​

How much does a commission cost?

 

The price of a 12 x 16" Head and Shoulders Portrait begin at £1750 and increases incrementally depending on scale, medium and complexity. I am able to offer payment in structured instalments of 2-3. 

 

A non-refundable deposit of 50% will be required before starting preliminary sketches.

​

12 x 16" £1750

16 x 20" £3000

24 x 30" £4750

​

I use museum-grade materials for all my commissions, ensuring the highest quality finish.
