How to order an original animal portrait

This is how it works!

1. Choose a photo of the animal subject you wish to be captured*. You can complement the main photo with more photos that show detail of animal eyes or colouring etc.



2. If there is something you wish modified from the photo, note this (for example, removal of dog collars, shift of tail, etc).
   
   
3. Describe the colours of the animal portrait subject eg. your dog, if there are shadows of the photo does not properly represent it. If the eyes are obscured with shadow or the flash describe the colours here.
   
   
4. For animal portraits, describe the nature and character of the animal, eg. is he/she sweet, hyperactive, quiet, what they get up to!
   
   
5. Decide on which medium you would like for your animal portrait, oil, pastel, graphite and the size of portrait. Please contact me to discuss different options and ideas if you are undecided.
   
   
6. Send your photo(s) via email, CDs or prints via regular post. All printed photos will be returned.
   
   
7. When I receive your animal photos, I will contact you to confirm your commission and go through any questions that may arise. Down payment can now be paid via the bank or postal cheque (to Julia Malcolm).
   
   
8. Animal portraits take between 4-5 weeks for completion depending on the medium, size and number of animals. Once the picture is finished, I will contact you and send a photo of the portrait for initial review. If you are statisfied, I will then arrange collection or postage of the portrait.
   
   
9. If you are happy with the animal portrait and there is nothing to adjust, final payment is then due, including package/postage.
If there are some adjustments to be made, please contact me to arrange this (adjustments are included in the purchase price).

* Photos or pictures from other sources (eg. wildlife or nature subjects) also welcomed.
