Types Of Commissions
Create Something For Every Budget
Art can be expensive, trust me. I know! And a lot of the time, I think the prices are fair when you consider the hours, love and dedication that goes into a commissioned artwork. However, I also know the gift of art shouldn't come at such a high price. That's why we have paintings from as little as £25. It's worth dropping me a line and telling me what you're ideal painting is so I can giv eyou some options to look at, and you choose your painting based on what you can afford.
What Can I Commission?
Honestly, anything! I've heard it all... from portraits and flowers, to nudes (and the kinks inbetween). I'm a realistic painter and illustrator so tell me your brief, and I'll try my best to meet it! Here's an example below:
* Portraits
* Pets / Animals
* Landscapes
* Buildings / Architecture
*Botanical
* Family Portraits
* Nudes
* Still Life

FAQ's
How Much Does A Commission Cost?
Prices vary depending on size, detail, and medium. I offer options across different price points, so there’s usually something that works for most budgets.
The best way to get an accurate quote is to send me your idea and reference photo.
Can I Request A Certain Size Painting?
Yes — I can work to a range of sizes, from smaller pieces up to larger statement artworks. If you have a space in mind, I can help you choose the right size.
Do You Include Framing?
Artwork is typically supplied unframed, but mount board can be added to certain pieces. I’m happy to advise on framing options so it looks its best once it arrives.
Do You Offer Revisions?
I want you to love the final piece. Small adjustments can be made during the process, but once the artwork is complete, major changes aren’t always possible — especially with traditional materials.
