Commisions

Dougie

If you would like to make arrangements for a commission then please contact me at the email address provided. I am also available to have a talk and to discuss your requirements by phone at any reasonable hour of the day. I am also on Whatsapp and Skype.

For a watercolour/mixed media painting of approximately A4 size, my fee is £100 for a single portrait. For A4 sized paintings containing multiple portraits I charge an additional £50 for each extra figure. So a portrait of two dogs together, for example, would cost £150 and three dogs would be £200 and so on. Both smaller and larger sizes can be arranged, with the price being adjusted accordingly. A deposit of 50% is required before commensment on any commissioned work can take place.

In order to produce an accurate and detailed portrait, I require a good quality, high-resolution digital image of the subject from which to work, the larger the file the better. I am available for photo-shoots, for which I charge a fee of £20 if local to Calne and within a six-mile radius, after which I charge an additional pound per mile.

A single portrait usually takes somewhere in the region of ten hours to complete and availability is subject to how busy my order book might happen to be at any given time. Please book well in advance of any deadline dates, such as birthdays, anniversaries etc. For those in a desperate hurry, priority is a possibility that can be arranged for an additional fee according to size and complexity of image etc
