Commissioning Your Portrait: The Journey
Looking to commission a portrait that captures more than just likeness? My signature style of luminous realism brings your portrait to life through masterful use of light, colour, and emotion. Each commission begins with a consultation where we discuss your vision, choosing the perfect size, setting, and style for your space.
The Portrait Painting Process
Using time-honoured oil painting techniques combined with contemporary innovation, I create portraits that radiate light and personality. My process includes:
- Initial sketches and composition planning
- Multiple sitting options (in-person or from photographs)
- Regular updates throughout the painting process
- Final glazing for that signature luminous quality
- Delivery and installation guidance
Investment in Timeless Art
Portrait commissions start from £500, with options including:
- Head and shoulder portraits
- Three-quarter length portraits
- Full-length portraits
- Family groupings
- Corporate and institutional commissions
Why Choose a Portrait Commission?
A commissioned portrait becomes a family heirloom, capturing a moment in time while creating lasting value. Whether for your home, office, or institution, each painting is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and archival-quality materials.
Recent Commission Examples
My portrait commissions hang in private collections worldwide. Recent works showcase the versatility of my style, from intimate portraits to bold corporate commissions.
