some of our Frequently Asked Questions

WHAT GUARANTEE DO I GET I’LL LIKE THE ARTWORK?

When the portrait is nearly finished I will send you a scan of it via email, you will then have the opportunity to let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to alter. Once you have decided you are completely happy with it, you then send through the balance of your payment, once this is received and cleared (if by cheque) I will send your portrait out to you recorded delivery. This way you only need to pay when you are completely happy with what you are getting!

 

I ONLY HAVE HARD COPIES AND NOT DIGITAL PHOTOS, CAN YOU WORK FROM THESE?

Yes i can work from these as well as digital photos. As long as the photo size is not smaller than 6×4 and is still really clear i can work from these as I blow them up on paper so i can see as much detail as possible for your artwork. If you are not sure please feel free to call me or drop me a copy of the photo on email, I can discuss things with you and work out the best options. See photo guide for further information.

 

CAN I CHOOSE ANY SUBJECT I LIKE?

Yes you can as long as the reference is clear enough for me to work from. I will happily undertake any subject required, over the years I have covered most subjects even the most oscure. If you require a combination of a few different subjects, this can also be created for you, drop me a line I will talk over with you you requirements.

 

HOW LONG WILL MY ARTWORK TAKE TO COMPLETE?

Obviously dependent on the complexity and size of the artwork you require, but to give you some idea black and white sketches up to A2, takes approx 3-4 weeks, and full colour pencil artwork takes 6-8 weeks. I will be able to give you a far more concise idea when I discuss your artwork requirements with me. If you have a specific date your artwork is needed by, for example someones birthday or special event, please let me know so i can ensure i meet your timeframe.
