What is the Process of a Horse Painting or Drawing Commission?

• Initital Consultation

I work closely with you to understand your vision and preferences. Whether you want a realistic oil painting or something with an, impressionistic portrayal, I can tailor my approach to your desires.

• Your Portrait Painting or Drawing Begins

Once we have decided on a suitable composition I will be ready to start working on your portrait. I can give you regular updates or you can wait for a big reveal once it is completed.

• How Long Will a Portrait Commission Take?

The quickest I can turnaround a portrait around is about 2 weeks, but this depends on how many other bookings I have and which medium your portrait is being created in. Pastel drawings and graphite drawings are the quickest. Oil paintings take much longer due to the long drying process.

• Can you frame my portrait painting?

Yes. I have access to many colours, shapes and sizes and can choose a frame to match other frames you have in your home or to complement your new artwork.

• Artist Nameplate

I also can provide a beautiful gold or aluminium nameplate to add any description of your choice. A great way to remember a special horse or event.

• Secure Shipping or Collect From my Studio

I ship worldwide and welcome collections too! Speak to me at the time of booking if you require shipping outside of the UK.
