Commissions
The Commission
Choose the portrait size and whether you would like a colour or black and white portrait. I offer head and shoulders portraits however full body is also available. If you would like full body please specify this on request as this will alter the quote.
Multiple quotes can be given on request via email. I can work to deadlines, please ensure you book in advance to avoid disappointment and flag the deadline date when booking. When booking a 25% non refundable deposit is required to confirm the booking. The remaining balance is to be paid on completion once your are happy with everything.
​
Commissions are handdrawn and completely done by eye. I use predominately Faber Castell Polychromos and Carand'ache Luminance pencils to get high levels of detail, onto good quality paper.
All commissions are supplied with a certificate of authenticity and packed for protection.
A4 and A3 commissions are provided in a mount and cellophane bag, A2 commissions are packed with a back board and wrapped in cellophane.
Collection from one of my regular markets is available and can be discussed on booking. Alternatively commissions can be posted via special delivery, prices are as follows:
A4 £6.99
A3 £7.99
A2 £9.50
Starting prices are listed below.
Exact quotes will be given on request.

The Image
Firstly, choose a photo of the subject.
Please ensure photos are clear and in focus with the subject in the forefront of the photo.
​
Some top tips when taking photos:
​
-Nice and Close. Getting a nice close up photo of your pet is great as it shows all the details and little characteristics that make your pet, and that can then be portrayed in the portrait! As well as this it also allows me to see the eyes clearly, this is key to getting the perfect portrait!
​
- Lighting is Key! Try and ensure you take the photo or use a photo in good lighting. Maybe position your pet by a window or outside, however if photographing outside make sure its not in direct sunlight!
​
-Try using treats or a favourite toy to position above the camera or phone to encourage different facial expressions. Then you can decide which expression you would like drawn.
​
Getting the perfect picture is sometimes a struggle! So don't hesitate to send multiple pictures.
​
I understand that taking new photos is not always possible when a pet has sadly passed away but do not worry. I will happily work with the photos provided and also work closely with you to ensure I capture your loved lost one.
​
If you are unsure on any of the above information or whether a photo is suitable or not feel free to send me an email at bexart@hotmail.com and supply the photos you have and I will be happy to give my advice on which photo/s will work or if another photo is required.
