Commission artwork
Commissions can take any form, such as this oil painting of Ronald; a life size portrait on a 17” round wooden board, featuring 23k gold leaf lettering.
It can be priced at any size and include multiple subjects, feature any text or font you prefer, or the subject can be depicted doing anything you want!
The process
Any subject is considered, pricing is subject to the number of subjects, size, medium, background detail and (if applicable) the amount of silver or gold leaf used.
The commissioning process is simple; initial contact can be made via the contact page and once some details are established an accurate quotation can be provided. If you choose to proceed a meeting is usually arranged to meet the subject/subjects, take reference photographs and agree on the finer details.
A deposit of around a third of the total cost is required prior to work commencing, this is to cover material costs. Deposits are refundable if no specific materials have been purchased and if work has not started; if work has started a partial refund would be offered dependent on the amount of time already invested.

Commissioned paintings
In the case of posthumous portraits, where geography is an issue or if you have a favourite image, commissions can be undertaken using your existing photographs as reference, but this is only possible if they are of sufficient detail and clarity, and if they possess the right qualities of lighting and composition. Often older images can be enhanced to make them workable, if you want to email me images I can assess what is possible.
Time scales differ due to complexity and workload, but every effort will be made to accommodate your specific needs, and once all details are agreed work can begin in the studio and I’ll update you on progress.
On completion I can forward images, if the finished artwork meets your expectations the balance of payment would be due prior to collection/delivery.
To get the process started or get more info, message me via the contact page.

testimonial
“We are delighted with this fantastic oil painting of our team of working dogs. From helping us understand the best medium; visiting to meet and photograph the dogs in a familiar environment; to agreeing the final portrait grouping, at every step it was a pleasure to work with you Andy. Thank you.”
