Prices
To commissioning a portrait, I will need a good quality reference photograph to work from. I do like to have as many pictures as possible, and especially in outside lighting to ensure the correct fur colour is achieved. I also like to try an understand the pet's character to try and reflect that in the artwork.
Prices start at £250.00 (with 10% will be donated to helpingpaws.co.uk) for one animal (such as the examples above) A4 with a basic frame and mount. (Ready to hang). The framing is undertaken by a professional local framer and usually requires an additional week to my drawing time. For larger portraits from A3, prices start at £300. I will need at least 3-4 weeks to complete the work. Prices do not include postage and packaging. I will also require a £100 deposit upfront before I can start works with payment due prior to posting/delivery of the completed artwork.
Information
Please be aware that there is a wait list of approx. 4-5 months, however the sooner that you can confirm your booking with a deposit, then if any cancellations are made, then I will be able to bring forward your booking.
Tips for photographs
- Natural lighting will always help get a clear and sharp picture for me to work from.
- Please also take a close up of the animal's eye, so that I can really see their eye colour and patterns.
- If you would like a full length picture (best in A3) please also include their paws in full and try to avoid cutting off their ears.
- Please let me know if you don't want the collar included, and if possible take a picture without one, so that I can understand how the fur sits without a collar.
- If the pet has passed and the photo options are limited, don't worry, I will work with you on this and have completed many memorial pieces from old family albums.
- Please let me know if you wish to not have progress pictures posted on my social media account @victoriaharrisarts
