Getting Booked In

This page explains how to get booked in and join my waiting list. I work on a first come first serve basis, and when you get booked in you will be added to the list.

Mini portraits are quicker and do not have a waiting list, (2-3 week turnaround, limited spaces).

Each portrait takes as long as it takes, so I cannot give an estimated turnaround time, however you could expect it to be approximately 1-2 weeks per commission, some take less and some take more. So for example, if I have 5 bookings it could be a 5-10 week wait. But please do get in touch if you need the portrait by a certain date and I can let you know if I can meet your deadline.

To get booked in it is a non-refundable 50% deposit of the total portrait price. I can offer payment installments if preferred, just get in touch and we can discuss options. Payments can be made via bank transfer, gift voucher or I can email you an invoice using Square where you can pay by card. Once booked in you can get in touch anytime to request where you are in the list.

When I am nearing starting your portrait I will be in touch to let you know. I will usually send you a photo of the pencil outline sketch on the canvas before starting the painting (I don’t tend to do this with charcoal or small portraits). You will receive a photo of the completed portrait for your approval, the remaining 50% balance can then be paid before dispatching the portrait to you.
