PORTRAIT ORDERING PROCESS
"The perfect present for lifelong memories"
Each portrait takes about at least 4 - 6 weeks to complete, it isn't a quick process as each portrait takes many hours of detailed work.
STEP 1 - PHOTOGRAPH
I will need a good close-up photograph of your pet.
for advice on how to take the perfect photograph - the better the photo the more accurate the painting. If you live in Dubai, I am more than willing to come to your house and take the photographs myself free of charge - it is always nice to meet the "model". Please note; professional photographs must be accompanied by a copyright release from the photographer or studio.
STEP 2 - SIZE & TYPE
Click Portrait Prices and decide whether your portrait should be a head study or full body and the size required. Also read Portrait Advice for further assistance in your choice.
STEP 3 - CONTACT ME
If you are sending more than one photograph, please tell me which is your favourite; it is always nice to work from a selection, even though the end portrait will be based on only one.
I will then email you an example of a mock composition/portrait for your approval, plus a final price including postage and packing. Don't forget to tell me your location in the world, I ship worldwide with Emirates recorded postal service. Alternatively you can also use snail mail; just email me and request my postal address.
STEP 4 - PAYMENT
If you are happy with the proposed composition, I require a 10% REFUNDABLE deposit before starting work on your portrait; this is just to show you are as serious about the commission as I am. If you are not 100% satisfied with the finished portrait, the deposit will be refunded in full.
By Paypal - payment can be made securely through PayPal, to use pay-pal all you need is an email address and valid credit card. I will simply send a payment form to you via email.
By Cash or Check - For UAE or UK customers
STEP 5 - FINISHED PORTRAIT
On completion I will email you a high resolution Jpeg of your portrait. If you are completely satisfied, the remaining amount can be paid and the portrait will then be ready for collection, or postage.
Portraits are sent recorded delivery with Emirates postal service; packed in a cylinder tube for protection. It will then only be a short time, before you can open your portrait and view the 'real' thing.
Portraits are completed on a first come first served basis, therefore if you would like a portrait as a gift for someone please order well in advance, or alternatively you could purchase a Gift Voucher
The finished portrait framed.
Remember you will receive it unframed so that you can pick a frame of your choice. Pencil studies benefit from a simple frame and mount, so that the focus stays on the portrait.
