Commissions

I’m always happy to discuss commissions, with no obligation to go ahead. For those who’ve never commissioned a piece before, it is a careful process where I try to understand what you want to achieve and help you to find the best image and medium - watercolour, oil, acrylic or pastel - to do that.

​

Past commissions have ranged from individual studies of a cat or dog to full-length human portraits and paintings of houses. Sometimes the commissions are unusual - a representation of an explorer’s travels or an illustration of a poem, but every one is unique and special and is treated that way by me.

​

Prices are very dependent on how complex the picture is and on its size. They can range from £100 for a small watercolour to £2000 for a large and complex piece. The average individual animal oil portrait is usually in the £300-500 bracket.
