How to order
Having your own pet portrait commissioned could not be easier - just follow the steps below.
- Firstly, Contact me by email, explaining what type & breed of pet(s) you would like to be drawn, how many to be featured in the portrait, the size you would prefer, and if there is a specific deadline you would like the work completed by.
- I will get back to you as soon as possible, and ask for photographs to be sent for viewing. If you are able to take new pictures, please take a look at the Photography tips page. Good quality, clear photographs make all the difference in achieving a finely detailed portrait.
- If the photographs are suitable to be worked from, I will approve them and send you a final quotation. If you would like the work to be carried out, a 20% non-refundable deposit is required, sent either by Paypal, cheque or postal order.
- Once the deposit has cleared, I will start the work and give you an estimated time frame to completion. If you would like, regular Work In Progress updates are available.
- When your portrait is complete, you will be sent a small watermarked photograph to approve by email. Only if you are 100% happy and would like to purchase the portrait, the rest of the payment can be made (you are under no obligation to pay the remainder unless totally satisfied). Once this payment has cleared, the portrait (and any non-digital reference photos) will be sent via Special Delivery.
NB. The portrait will be signed and sprayed with artist fixative. It is your responsibility to frame the artwork as soon as possible behind glass to keep it in tip-top condition.
