Commissioning a unique pet portrait in pastel
All of my pictures are drawn on 160gsm Ingres paper using high quality pastels. Portraits are fixed with Windsor & Newton fixative.
Portrait costs are governed by the size of the portrait and the number of subjects, please see below. Size shown below are for frame size.

Prices are for single animal, for addition animals add an extra £40/subject. This extra cost applies only to subjects on the same portrait. (Pictures can be mounted, framed and posted at extra cost, UK only. Please contact me for details.)
Depending my current work load, commissions usually take 4-5 weeks. Times may be longer in the period before Christmas.
Framing
Pictures are not framed. It is best to go to your local framer for advice and make your own choice of personal preference. Frame your pastel portrait as soon as possible and do not touch the pastel, always hold/handle the picture at the edges.
Postage and packaging
UK portraits will be sent ‘next day Special delivery’. Unframed costs £10.
