~ How To Order ~
Ordering your portrait is (hopefully) simple! You can find further guidelines under the Help link above.
Step1 Select a medium (acrylic painting or pencil drawing). If your chosen medium is an acrylic painting, please also select a painting surface (canvas board or stretched canvas). You can find help choosing your canvas here. Select a size. Please click here for a list of options regarding sizes and prices. If you don't find the size you are looking for or would like a quote in a different currency please contact me.
Step2 Select the photograph/s on which you would like your portrait based. You can find some advice on choosing a photograph here. You may combine 2 or more photos if you wish to include multiple figures in your portrait. If you're not sure how effectively this will work I'd be glad to take a look at the photos and mock up a rough composition.
Step3 Tell me! Let me know what you'd like to commission by either filling in my online order form, e-mailing me (simon@portrait-art.co.uk), telephoning or posting a completed printable order form. It's up to you whether you send me your photo/s at this point or wait until I have confirmed your order. I accept photos as either e-mail attachments or original photos by post. Please read my photos guidelines for best results.
Step4 I will acknowledge receipt of your commission by e-mail (or post if you prefer) and confirm a price. I will also give you a projected completion date. Completion date will depend on how large the portrait is and current workload but a typical timescale from receipt of photo to completion of portrait is around 3 weeks. If you haven't already done so, you will need to send me your photo/s. A 50% deposit will be required. Payment may be made by cheque or secure online payment via PayPal.com.
Step5 Once I have finished your portrait, I will e-mail you a scan for your approval and payment options. If you don't have an e-mail address I can post you a printout. Final payment will be due at this point. Once I have received full payment I will post your portrait, usually via Royal Mail Special Delivery (UK residents).
