A portrait makes a unique and meaningful gift. I aim to provide a good experience for the sitter so that both the process and the final piece are special.
My process starts with an in-person sitting over one or two hours in my studio in Cambridge. During this session I will get to know the sitter while sketching them to understand the structure of their face, and I’ll take some photos to work from later. We’ll also discuss the format, composition and colours the sitter would like in the final piece. We may schedule one or two follow-up sittings before delivery of the finished piece. The painting will take up to two months to complete, so please factor that in when thinking about when to make the commission.
My prices start at £500. There’s a deposit of £100 payable from the first sitting, with the remainder due if you accept the painting.
If you’re thinking about commissioning a portrait and would like to explore the idea further, please feel free to get in touch.
