Frequently Asked Questions

I have done my best to be thorough across this site, including all the information you may need.

But, sometimes, you just want to get straight to the point, without any fluff! So, with that in mind, here are some of the questions I am asked most frequently!

If you can’t find the information you are looking for, just pop me a message via my contact form.

  • The time taken for each portrait varies depending on the size and style chosen. It can vary from 1 week, to 4+ months! For information on what’s available, check out my Order a Commission page.

  • Yes! All artwork can be safely posted throughout the UK.

    I pack the artwork in acid free tissue paper, before placing it inside a cellophane sleeve. This goes inside a hard-back envelope, which gets secured between two piece of cardboard of the same size. This is then wrapped in waterproof paper lining, ready for packaging labels.

    For orders over £100, I use Royal Mail’s Special Delivery, which is a 24 hour tracked and insured guaranteed next day service.

    For orders under £100, I use Royal Mail’s Tracked 48 service.

    International delivery is also available, but you will need to reach out me directly to arrange.

  • Unfortunately I do not provide framing myself - I just focus on the artwork nowadays! But I am happy to support you in sourcing the perfect frame to supplement your artwork - just ask!

  • I do indeed! In fact, I draw anything from a photograph, so as long as there is a photo for me to refer to, I can draw it.

  • Absolutely! That said, the quality of your reference photo does affect the level of detail I can capture. Low quality or older photos are always workable in one way or another - I know we can't always just take another one. Get in touch and we'll figure out what we can do.

  • In short, soft natural lighting, all features of the subject are visible in the photograph, and high resolution can help.
