HOW TO COMMISSION A PORTRAIT

Take a look at some of the portraits I have already painted for happy clients. Then email me and let's talk about it.

I will paint a portrait of your choosing. A person, animal or pet, the choice is yours. For you to keep or as a gift for someone special. All I need are good detailed photographs to work from.

Your painting will be created using professional, artist grade, acrylic paints, on a stretched gallery wrapped cotton canvas of which ever size you choose. Painting will continue on the sides of the canvas so the portrait can be displayed with or without frame as you wish.

The artwork will be signed BEE on the front and comes with a Certificate of Authenticity signed by the artist, myself Bee Skelton.

When you pay for your order and send me photos, your commission is fixed in sequence with others outstanding at the time, and your portrait will be completed in that order.

STEP 1:
Email a photo for me to assess suitability and discuss your requirements and the price you would like to pay. If the painting is needed for a particular date, please let me know and I will move heaven and earth, as well as staying up all night, to get the job done.

Examples of just some of the sizes available, if you don't see the size you want, please ask:
10ins x 12ins approx(25cm x 35cm)
12ins x 12ins approx (30cm x 30cm)
12ins x 16ins approx (30cm x 40cm)


STEP 2:
After payment I shall need your final selection of photographs, preferably more than one, either as digital images by email or as printed photos by post. Please choose high quality photos that are taken in close-up, have a facial expression you love and that is typical of the subject, especially with a clear view of the eyes. Shots taken in daylight are best please.

STEP 3:
I shall contact you by email before commencing work to discuss details and will also send you images of work in progress from start to completion of your portrait.

STEP 4:
An image of your finished portrait will be emailed to you for approval and will not be shipped to you without your approval. In the unlikely event that you are not completely thrilled with your portrait (so far all my clients have been delighted), whilst my bottom lip may tremble slightly, I will keep the painting to add to my portfolio and happily give you a full refund.

SHIPPING & HANDLING
The artwork will be carefully protected and packaged, and sent by courier to anywhere in the World by EMS Datapost. With tracking number and insurance.
