COMMISSION A PORTRAIT
Looking to mark a special occasion?
I am an adaptable painter with decades of experience. I’m more than happy to discuss painting any subject matter, be it a portrait of people, cherished pets, house and garden paintings or any combination of these.
I am happy to paint from life with the sitter in their desired location, or I can paint from a photograph if the subject is not available for sittings.
Approximate commissioned portrait prices:
£1000 - £1200 for a head and shoulders portrait of a single subject
£1500 - £1800 for 3/4 portrait with hands and background
£2000-£2500 for full figure portrait.
£2500-£3000 for a couple.
Each painting is unique and my prices are negotiable. Get in touch with me to discuss the size of your portrait, the number of figures, amount of detail, travel and more to get a quote.
