commission a piece

Let's paint something together

A commission is a quiet, considered thing. I take on a small number each month so that every piece gets the care it deserves. Here's how it works — there's no pressure, and no obligation until you're happy.

1

Get in touch

Tell me a little about what you'd like painted — a pet, a house, a wedding suite. Send a few photos if you have them.

2

We design it together

I'll come back with a sketch, suggested sizes and a quote. We tweak until it feels just right.

3

I paint it by hand

I'll spend the next 2–4 weeks bringing it to life in watercolour, sending you a peek along the way.

4

It arrives at your door

Your finished piece is carefully packaged and posted to you — ready to frame or gift.

About your subject

Please attach your favourite photo — the clearer the better! A straight-on shot with good light works best.
