Portraits

Have you thought about capturing your family and friends in a beautiful oil painting?

I use quality canvases and artists grade paints to produce professional portraits that will last for years and make great presents.

I always prefer to see the subject of a painting, make a quick pencil sketch and take some photo references to work from although you can send me good quality digital pictures to work from. The more pictures I have to work with the better and the pictures should be taken in natural light without a flash. The painting will typically take 2 to 4 weeks for a standard 12 x 16 inch canvas and a further month to allow the paint to dry sufficiently to package the canvas and send it to you. Larger pictures can take longer.

Prices will be based on the size and complexity of the painting. Please Contact me for a quote.
