I undertake work in a variety of media, and although the following guide shows the type of work you can expect for an approximate price, the final outcome is dependent upon what you want from a piece, and how much time I will spend completing a commission to your individual taste.

My starting price for pet portraits is £35, these are A4 and done in either pastel, watercolour or pencil; this price excludes P&P, you can choose whether to pay for Royal Mail First Class or Special Delivery within the UK, these are some examples of what you can expect for that price.

Pencil Studies: These are done on cartridge paper, using pencils and graphite sticks, producing effects from a sketch, to a detailed pencil study. Prices for A4 start at £35 and prices for A3 start at £85 – I can work in different sizes where required.

A3 pencil sketch (£85)	A3 detailed pencil study (£200)

Chalk Pastels: These are done on pastel paper, which is available in a variety of colours.  I use Unison Colour soft pastels, and a mix of harder pastels for shade and light, along with charcoal pencils for detail.  Prices for A3 sketches start at £85, and for detailed studies start at £145 – I can work to larger sizes where required.

Watercolours:  These are done on pressed cotton, which comes in two sizes, 9” x 12 1/8”, and 10 1/4” by 14 1/8”; I also use a variety of boards and can work on stretched paper if that's your preference.   I use Rowney watercolours, and specialist watercolour brushes.  For more detailed work, prices start from £85 for the smaller size, and £145 for the larger size.  I can work to larger sizes where required, and if preferred can use watercolour boards or paper.

Pen and Ink Wash: These are done by producing a study in ink, and adding watercolours.  They are on stretched paper, and prices start at £100 for an A4 piece.  The example on the left would be priced at £100.

Detailed Pen and Ink Study: These are done on cartridge paper, using black ink fine liners, to produce fine detail.  Prices start at £100 for an A4 piece.  The example on the right would be priced at £100.

Acrylics: These are done on primed board or canvas, whichever is your preference.  I use Rowney acrylics, and specialist acrylic brushes.  Prices start at £150 for a board sized 16” x 12”, and for chunky canvases, prices start at £230 for 20" x 16", please contact me for a quote for larger pieces.    The example (left) shows an acrylic in progress.

Mixed media: sometimes using a combination of media produces a stunning effect, the example on the right shows a portrait of my own two dogs done in graphite and water colours.  If you have a preference for a particular style of work, in any media, I will work towards producing a piece that suits your choices.  The example shown would cost £175.
