You may have a lot of questions still, even after looking through my site.

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!
