Booking Your Portrait Is Simple

Whether it’s a cherished pet, a loved one, or a special moment you want to treasure forever, I’d be honoured to turn it into a one-of-a-kind oil painting. Here’s how we make it happen:

Step 1: Choose Your Size

Oil paint brings rich colour, depth, and detail to every piece.

Think about where your portrait will live, how much detail you’d like, and your budget. A single head-and-shoulders piece might suit a smaller size, while multiple subjects or full-body poses shine on a larger canvas.

All prices include varnishing, packaging, and tracked UK delivery. Additional charge an apply for international delivery. For special sizes or large-format pieces, just ask—I’m happy to help.

Step 2: Gather Your Photos

Great portraits start with great reference photos.

  • Take them in natural daylight (no flash or harsh shadows)
  • Capture clear, close-up details of the face, eyes, and colouring
  • Send me a few favourites—I’ll help you choose the perfect one

If your photo was taken by someone else (including a professional), please make sure we have permission to use it.

Step 3: Book Your Place

Fill in the booking form with:

  • Your chosen size
  • Details about your subject (name, personality, special features)
  • When you’d like it completed (especially for gifts)

My waitlist is usually about a month, so it’s worth booking early.


Step 4: Secure Your Spot

A 50% non-refundable deposit confirms your commission, with the balance due once your portrait is complete.

I accept PayPal, bank transfer, or card payments, and offer payment plans if needed.


Step 5: Watch It Come to Life

I’ll keep you updated with progress photos so you can see your portrait taking shape. If it’s a surprise gift, I’ll make sure to keep it under wraps until the big reveal.

Step 6: Delivery

When it’s ready, your portrait will be:

  • Signed
  • Varnished to protect it for years to come
  • Carefully packaged in eco-friendly materials
  • Sent tracked to your door

Most UK deliveries arrive within 5 working days.


Review

Seeing your reaction is my favourite moment. When your portrait arrives, I’d love to hear what you think—and if you’re happy to share a photo of it in its new home, it always makes my day.
