How to Order
Photos
My paintings are done from your photos. E-mail me a few photos of the subject and I will send you a price quote and a timeline for completion. Tell me all about the pet or person to be painted, the style of portrait you're interested in, and if the portrait is for yourself or to be given as a gift.
Background Colours and Style of Portrait
Client input is important to my process, my style allows for as an interactive process should the client wish. With your input the portrait will be more representative of both your personal style preferences and your pets personality. I can also provide planning sketches for your approval.
1. Choose a style similar to one of my other paintings in my portfolio, or I can create a new style!
2. How much of the subject is to be painted (full body or head and shoulders)
3. Where the subject is to be placed in the composition
4. What colour likes and dislikes do you have for the background of the portrait
If you're not certain of these choices, I'm happy to offer suggestions during the planning process.
