I have been drawing and painting figures and portraits
long before I took to painting landscapes. I use
pastels or oils and can work from life, if sittings can be arranged,
or I can use photographs if they are of good quality.
I also paint and draw figures, which can be full figure portraiture
or just figure studies in a variety of pose, setting or guise. These
are available from the artists collection or you can commission
a particular study in the medium and size of your choice.
How To Arrange A Commission
Whenever possible I like to meet the subject. If you think that this
may be a possibility you can contact me via email or telephone to
discuss.
Otherwise I require good quality photographs to work from. If you
can also give me any further information on particular features/colouring
etc that is always helpful.
1st step - post photographs to me
2nd step - I will contact you on receipt to acknowledge
receipt of photos and confirm that they are suitable to proceed with.
At this stage I request a deposit payment of 30% (or approximate)
the commission fee payable by either credit card, cheque or via pay
pal.
3rd step - on clearance of deposit I proceed with
working on portrait/figure painting. Allow three weeks for completion
or six weeks for group portraits or larger format.
4th step - I will post you a photograph of the finished
painting (this will eventually be via digital mail I hope) on receipt.
If image satisfactory the balance is payable. I ship painting wrapped
and protected on board.
