COMMISSIONS ARE OPEN
Below are the current prices for my services which include portraits in coloured pencil and graphite in various sizes. The pricing for graphite portraits is slightly cheaper than coloured pencil portraits as they are quicker to complete. If you have a specific size in mind that is not listed, feel free to contact me for a personalized quote. Please note that although I have experience with human portraits I am currently focusing on and opening commissions for pet portraits only. Portraits of pets that include a human may be considered, depending on quality of references.

Each unique pet portrait is hand-drawn on high quality artist's paper using only lightfast colours, this ensures that my artwork lasts for a lifetime. Each drawing comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. Depending on the size of a piece, a drawing can take many hours to complete. Lots of layering is required with pencils to bring depth and vibrancy to colours and tones. Please be mindful of the time taken to create these bespoke artworks when it comes to the pricing. Timescale to complete depends on size and complexity but can be confirmed on enquiry.

Side by Side
Please note that unless requested your drawing will be supplied unframed only mounted with a matt border and backing board as above.
When sending drawings by mail it is not possible for me to ship it framed as it may break on shipment and the broken glass would ruin the drawing. Therefore they are sent as mounted drawings- with a matt mount "border" and backing ready for framing yourself or by a framer.
Upon request, if local and either delivery or collection is possible I can supply a frame if preferred. Some customers prefer to have an unframed mounted drawing so they can select their own framing finish and match home decor etc. Some choose to take it to a bespoke professional framer whilst others use the more cost effective option of buying a standard frame. Please see examples of supplied frames sourced from IKEA for example.

IMPORTANT INFO FOR BOOKINGS
Reference photos info
As an artist whose work is heavily focused on detail, I require clear and accurate reference photos to create the best possible portraits. It is important that the photos are taken in natural daylight and outdoors, as this will ensure that the colors and features are captured accurately. The eyes are my favorite part of any portrait, so please make sure they are captured up close. An angle straight on is best, as from above can distort and affect the final outcome. Multiple photos can be merged to create a portrait with more than one subject. However, I do understand that in some cases, such as memorial portraits, it may not be possible to obtain a clear reference photo. If this is the case, please contact me and we can discuss how to proceed.
In order to confirm your commission booking with me, I ask for a 50% upfront deposit payment of the total price. Once the portrait is complete and you approve the images I have sent you, I require the remaining payment. Payments can be made via bank transfer. As soon as I have received the final payment, I will send the drawing to you via tracked delivery unless we have organised delivery/collection. If you are gifting the drawing and do not want spoilers to be shown on my social channels, please let me know. The drawing will be mounted (not framed) and securely packaged for delivery. UK mainland delivery is free, while international shipping will be charged separately. I use Transglobal express for shipping outside the UK. I ship worldwide, price conversion is as per the exchange rate at time of booking. Due to tax differences, I am not liable for any customs tax you may be charged.
You can opt to pay in instalments if you prefer- contact me to arrange a payment plan that works for you and your timeframe.
