If you are interested in commissioning a portrait, I would be very pleased to hear from you to discuss the options in further detail. As a portrait is a very individual piece of art, you may want your painting to depict only the head and shoulders or the complete figure, with perhaps a simple background or a more specific setting. Before starting work on a portrait I like to have a consultation with my client to agree the preferred direction.
I usually work from sketches and photographs from one or more sittings as a reference for the painting. I am also happy to paint from life although this may require a number of longer sittings.

The prices below are a guide. Please note that the price of a portrait may be affected by the complexity of the painting.
Head and shoulders, individual - £600
Head and shoulders, group of four - from £1200

The cost of a portrait is agreed before work can begin. An advance of 30% will be required. The length of time from the initial commission to the delivery of the completed painting will be approximately two to three months.
