COMMISSIONS

Work with me in Person

What’s important to me is to capture your essence, experience your energy; it really matters to me to get a feel of being with you. And for you, a ‘modelling’ session opens things up. You be guided by me and we’ll work together to create the environment we need. You’ll discover a courage and capacity to be vulnerable you neveer thought you had, and by committing to our work, you give me the best opportunity to capture you naturally, and you’ll take away a whole newly found confidence and personal growth skillset

So you are welcome to come to me or I could come to you. I’ll sketch and take lots of photos. 2-3 hours. We’ll then decide on which I’ll work on.

Direct from a photo

It must be high resolution, and in focus. I would like some choice in the image - I’ll need to feel I’m interested drawing the shot. Also good to have several photos of the subject for my reference.

Your unique and finished artwork will take between 20-50 hours work, depending on the size. You will have a drawing of great care and attention.

I will share the drawing with you when nearly complete, allowing you to make a couple of small suggestions - if you wish, and if possible.

Click here for sizes and prices. All packaging and posting, or hand delivery to you/ pickup is included, as is the price of the in person session (expenses excluded if I travel)

Expect the work to take 4-6 weeks depending on my other commitments. All artwork will be in charcoals and graphite on paper. They will be carefully packaged unframed -unless we arrange otherwise.

I take a 40% deposit up front, with the balance on completion.
