General Information on Commissions

Prices are for unframed work. Mats and framing services are available.
Schedule of payments: 50% when commission is accepted; balance
when the work is completed, or when work it is shipped or picked up.

Prices [as a guide only]. Prices do not include shipping or travel expenses and do not include insurance if required. Portraits will only be shipped on receipt of full payment. Sizes are determined by subject matter / Quotes for larger groups are available.
All finished works are added to my digital portfolio/ web site [as part of my body of work]. All works of art created by me are copyrighted.

Consultation

Prices include consultations.

I will meet with the sitter if possible to have some sort of insight into a person's character and personality. I will take a series of images myself as controlling the image is very important to me. I'll use a 35mm camera and a digital to assure a good selection and a number of poses, as well as insuring good lighting.
 
You may visit me or I can see you. I will travel if necessary, given short notice, but cost is governed by distance.

Photographs

Digital Images


If I use your photos, I insist on good quality images, showing with absolute clarity of the features of the face. I would like to have as many as possible to help me capture the personality- and barring any problems, all will be returned.
 
Excellent portraits can be created from digital images; however, they must be high resolution (.tiff or. jpg format) supplied on a CD. I also need a printed photograph (either a pre-printed digital image or a 'normal' photograph) showing the pose you want. Again, the more I have for reference the better the portrait.

Sizes

Oil paintings tend to be larger. A head study around 14"x18" or so, and a full body portrait 20"x30".
For a graphite, conté crayon, or charcoal, the size will be around 12"x14"; a full-body (non-action) study 16"x20"+.
 
These sizes are just guidelines as all commissioned portraits should be governed by pose and your personal requirements.

Animals

Animals such as horses, dogs, cats, birds, and cattle. There's an additional charge for two or more subjects within the same portrait; the price may be higher with elaborate collars, saddles and tack; to include a rider [with good images] will also cost more.
Composition
Additions
 
I will do my best to include you in the process, asking you to view the portrait before it is completed and ask your opinions. At that time, alterations may be made. Of course, the finished piece is subject to your approval - if not completely satisfied I will refund your money, but I will keep the artwork.

Backgrounds
 
Backgrounds are an aspect of the composition and design. Whenever  possible, I'll get your input as to the background content; however, complicated or detailed backgrounds will add to the cost. Generally, graphite and charcoal studies have no backgrounds.

Timescales

Completing a painting depends on the medium and current work schedule. I will present you with a timescale to fit your schedule, but I cannot guarantee a finished project  until a commission has been confirmed in writing. Order early for Christmas.
