Custom originals

  • Capture the moment.

    Do you have a photo of a pet or perhaps some wildlife that you’d like turned into a work of art? Maybe as a gift for a friend or loved one, or to immortalise an animal holding a special place in your life for yourself?

  • Immortalise it.

    After choosing your photo, preferably as high quality as possible, simply send it using the button below to get in touch with me and we can begin deciding what style of portrait you would like.

Contact me

If you want to make an enquiry into commissioning a picture, please send me a message with the “Make Enquiry” button on the left, including the relevant details and attaching the photo in question.

Important details to include

I aim to make the process of commissioning a picture as easy as possible, so while we can discuss any details as you like, there are a few important details vital for me to be able to go ahead with creating the art in question.

  • Artistic Medium

    • The majority of my pieces are colour works in oil pastel, but pencil for grayscale pictures is also an option.

  • Size

    • Most pieces tend to be A4 in size, but A5 and A3 are also possible.

  • Name and Address

  • Whether to allow prints

    • Before the final product is shipped to you, a scan will be taken which will be displayed in the site portfolio alongside a thumbnail of the reference photo and, should you choose to allow it, potentially used to create prints for sale at a later time. If you wish for the piece to be display only and no prints to be created, please let me know.

  • And most importantly of all, the photo itself!

    • Please use a photo of as high quality as possible. Working from lower quality reference material is possible to an extent, but higher resolution photos with minimal blurring make it much easier.

Prices

Creating such fine detail is a time-consuming process; the standard composition of an A4 oil pastel piece can take upward of 30 hours to complete. Pieces in different sizes or mediums will take require different amounts of time and materials, varying the price accordingly.

  • Oil Pastel:

    • A5 - £149

    • A4 - £349

    • A3 - £449

  • Pencil:
