~ How to Commission a Painting ~

  • If you would like to commission an oil painting of your pet, all you need to do is send me a clear, high resolution photograph either by email or post (see below for tips on photographing your pet for a painting). It is important to have a good quality photograph so that I am able to see the detail in the animal's features and therefore acheive the best results. If you would like to send more than one photo for me to choose the best one that's absolutely fine.
  • If there is a particular animal that you would like me to paint, but you don't have a photograph, then I can provide the reference material free of charge as I have access to an extensive image reference library. In this case, once you have given me an idea of the painting you would like, I will then produce a few small sketches to base the final painting on and you can choose your favourite.
  • A 20% deposit is required before I start the painting and I would normally have the painting finished within 3 weeks. On completion of the painting, I will email you a photograph of it. Once you have seen this and are completely happy with it, then the rest of the payment can be made securely online by PayPal or UK customers can also send a cheque. I give an unconditional guarantee that you are not obliged to buy the finished painting if you decide not to. You may also return it for any reason within 30 days for a full refund including the deposit.

~ Tips For Photographing Your Pet For a Painting ~

A good quality photograph will enable me to acheive the best results.

  • If possible, photograph your pet outside (without flash) as this is natural lighting and will show their colours more accurately. However, avoid strong sunlight as this may make areas of the photo too bright or cast dark shadows. A bright but overcast day would be ideal.
  • If you're unable to photograph outside, try to photograph in a room that is well lit with natural light. Avoid using the flash or having indoor lights on.
  • Get to the same eye level as your pet. Avoid taking the photo either looking down or up at them, unless you particularly want this type of shot.
  • So I can see the detail of your pet's features, it is important to have a clear, high resolution photograph. If you have a zoom lens, all the better! If not, just try to get at a close distance whilst staying in focus.
  • If you would like more than one animal in the painting, it is better to photograph them separately to get the best shot of each one.

If you already have some suitable photographs of your pet then feel free to send me some. If, sadly, your pet has passed away and you're unsure as to whether the photographs that you do have are suitable, then you're more than welcome to send me them and I'll get back to you.
