What do you need to do to commission a portrait?

Contact me to discuss the timescale, availability and cost.  Portraits can take between 2 and 4 months to complete to the final sculpture dependent upon the size and complexity.

For animals:

  1. Download the form available for you to take measurements and photographs to enable a good depiction in the pose you would wish to see the animal.
  2. Accurate measurements will mean that it will be your particular animal in the correct scale showing the differences between it and another of the same breed.
  3. Document well with photos the characteristics that make it individual (special way of lying / sitting)
  4. Send the photographs and measurements (by post or email) and I will do the rest.  I will give you an approximate time of completion on receipt but if you have a special event coming up please let me know so I can try to make your deadline (within reason!)
  5. I will require a deposit of £60 to undertake the work
  6. Prices for the finished sculpture will start from approximately £160 for the smaller animals at 1/6th life-size.  Any scale will be considered.

For children:

  1. I will need to see the child and meet with you to discuss the pose and other details such as clothes, scale etc.
  2. I will take the measurements and photographs for working
  3. After the initial work has taken place I will need to see the child again to check on progress and make changes where necessary
  4. A deposit of £1,000 will be necessary at this stage
  5. Before starting to cast the model you will get the chance for the final agreement and touches to take place before it is cast into bronze
  6. Prices for the finished portrait will be from approximately £2,000 for a 1/3rd portrait of a small child in a seated position
