| |  | | How to commission a portrait What follows is a summary. If you are interested in commissioning a portrait and/or want to discuss your specific requirements, please e-mail me and I can supply you with information about how the commissioning process works and what I can do for you. | What you need to consider- | You need to decide:
- whether you would prefer a head study or a full body portrait
- whether the portrait is of one or more animals. Multiple animals cost more and can only be portrayed in the larger format sizes.
- how best to provide me with information about what the animal looks like and the colour of its fur and eyes
| What I need
- before I start to work | Before I start a commission I will need:
- You to confirm the agreed size and price.
- as much information about the animal as possible to help me produce the best possible portrait of your animal. I will definitely need a high resolution photograph.
- a deposit which we will discuss when you confirm an order.
| Photography
and
other information
about the animal | PLEASE NOTE: I can be commissioned to take photographs for a set fee plus expenses - please enquire for further details. I can bring a laptop and you can choose the photograph you want me to use. I use a Canon EOS 7D SLR and various Canon lenses to ensure high quality photographs. | | Timescales | The timescale needed to complete a portrait will always depend on the size and complexity of the image required for the commission - and the number of orders already accepted. I will give you a rough estimate of completion date. I will always try to meet special requests if the portrait is for a present, please let me know when you commission me if you require completion by a certain date. | | Prices | Please note that these;
- INCLUDE: chosen support (and a mat if the portrait is done on paper), shipping, postage and packing
- EXCLUDE: framing and insurance
| | If you prefer just email me and we can talk through your requirements gayle.mason@gmail.com | |
