1. First reserve your place in my schedule with a deposit of 30%. If you're looking for a Christmas or Birthday present, please order very early to be sure of getting your portrait in time.

2. Email me to discuss your requirements including any deadline, and I can advise you on which medium will get you the results you want, and detail the prices for your portrait.

3. Ideally I work from several reference photos (the copyright must belong to you or me) though I know that sometimes this isn't possible. If you're taking pictures specially, make sure they're in daylight and without flash. Get down level with your dog or cat, attract his attention, and take lots! Digital photos are best as they can be emailed to me. Printed photos will be returned.

4. I'll let you know when your portrait is ready, and it will be despatched, on receipt of the balance of 70%.

Please note that the copyright of an image remains with the artist, so I may publish your commission here or elsewhere. You will, of course, be credited as the commissioner unless you would prefer to remain anonymous.

For full information about commissioning a portrait of your pet, contact me and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.
