PORTRAIT AND STILL LIFE COMMISSIONS

PORTRAITS AND STILL LIFE WILL BE PAINTED IN OIL PAINT ON BOARD OR CANVAS, BASED ON YOUR OWN PHOTOGRAPHS. FOR A PORTRAIT I WILL NEED A FEW PHOTOS OF THE PERSON YOU WANT A PAINTING OF – THEN I WILL CHOOSE WHICH PHOTO IS BEST SUITED FOR THE WORK. ONCE SKETCHED UP ONTO THE BOARD OR THE CANVAS, WE WILL AGREE ON THE COMPOSITION BEFORE I FINISH THE PAINTING.

FOR STILL LIFE I CAN PAINT FOOD COMPOSITIONS ON REQUEST, OR I CAN PAINT YOUR FAVOURITE OBJECT – FOR EXAMPLE A FIGURINE, A VASE, A SCARF, A CHILDHOOD TOY ETC.

THE PAINTING WILL TAKE FROM TWO WEEKS UP TO A MONTH TO BE FINISHED – THEN A FURTHER 4-6 WEEKS TO DRY BEFORE I CAN SHIP IT BY POST. THE PAINTING WILL NEED A FINAL COAT OF VARNISH AFTER ANOTHER FIVE MONTHS. THIS CAN BE DONE BY A SPECIALIST, OR YOU CAN BUY A MATT SPRAY VARNISH FOR OILS IN AN ART MATERIAL SHOP AND DO IT YOURSELF.

THE PAINTING WILL BE UNFRAMED, WITH THE IMAGE FILLING THE WHOLE SURFACE TOWARDS THE EDGES. IT WILL BE EASY TO HANG ON THE WALL UNFRAMED, BUT YOU CAN ALSO HAVE A FLOATING FRAME MADE FOR IT.

BOTH STILL LIFE AND PORTRAIT COMMISSIONS HAVE PRICES FROM £600 FOR SIZE CA. 23X30 CM, £800 FOR CA. 40X50 CM, AND UP TO £1500 FOR 85X100 CM. EXACT SIZE AND PRICE WILL BE AGREED BEFORE I START THE WORK. ANY VERTICAL PORTRAIT SIZE BETWEEN 23X30CM AND 85X100 CM CAN BE MADE. STILL LIFE PAINTINGS CAN BE EITHER VERTICAL OR HORIZONTAL.

SHIPPING COSTS ARE INCLUDED FOR THE SMALLEST PAINTING SIZES, AND WILL BE ADDED TO THE PRICE ON PAINTINGS SIZED 40X50 CM OR LARGER
