How Long Does it Take to Complete A Portrait?

It usually takes between 1 and 2 weeks but the time will depend on the size of the portrait.  I will always aim to give you an estimated completion time.

What Materials are used in the Portrait?

I use the following coloured pencils :- Fabercastell polychromos, Caran D'ache Luminance, Derwent Lightfast and Caran D'ache Pablos.  These pencils are of the highest quality to ensure that you portrait will last a lifetime.
I use the following surfaces for my portraits:- Fabriano Artistico paper 300 gsm, Clairefontaine Pastelmat or Polydraw drafting film.

When do I need to Pay for My Portrait?

A 25% non-refundable booking fee is required to secure your commission portrait.  The remaining balance is required once the portrait is complete.  Payment can be made by Paypal or Bank Transfer.

What is the Best Type of Photograph for My Portrait?

The best photographs to work from are close up photos of head and shoulders, taken in good natural lighting but not too sunny.  Try to take the photograph at the eye level of your pet. It helps if the eyes show details and the fur.  Basially the better the photo the better the portrait!
