IN THE STUDIO
STEP 1: Send me an email with a photo or selection of photographs you would like painted. The higher the quality, the better – if you can zoom in and see details, that would be perfect!
STEP 2: We agree on a price depending on size, materials, and detail. A 20% deposit is to be paid before painting begins.
STEP 3: Painting time! I can send updates along the process and keep you in the loop. Adjustments can be made within reason, but a full repaint would need re-negotiating on the price.
STEP 4: Painting complete and approved of – time to varnish! Acrylic paintings can be varnished and dry within 2 weeks. Oil paintings take over a week to dry, then another week to varnish.
STEP 5: Painting complete! Ready to hand over either in person or through the post with final payment. Time for you to hang it on the wall!

With a passion for painting and a love of animals, I endeavour to capture their joyfulness in each piece. I have been working on speeding up my commission time as my oil paintings used to take 3-4 weeks but now I can create a painting in 3-4 days (sometimes even quicker in acrylic paint!). Send me a picture of your beloved pet and start the ball rolling for yourselves, a gift for a loved one or a piece in memoriam.
