Deposit
When commissioning a child portrait an initial deposit of 50% is required before the portrait is started. When the portrait is complete I will email a digital proof to ensure you are satisfied with the finished piece. I will then ask for the remaining balance, which will include postage and packaging costs. Once full payment has been received the portrait will be shipped. Please note initial deposits for commissions are non-refundable. A full non-obligatory quote including deposits and postage and packaging charges will be given before initial payment.
Postage and packaging
All commissions will be reinforced with cardboard and well packaged. Mounted pieces will also be celophane wrapped. All artwork will be posted by Royalmail recorded delivery and will require a signature at point of delivery. If you would like to provide an alternative address for delivery where someone will be available to sign for the parcel, please specify. International delivery is currently not available.
Framing
Commissions are all unframed. Drawings and mixed media portraits will be supplied double mounted ready for framing. Offering pieces unframed gives you the opportunity to select a frame to suit your taste, decor and budget. The standard sized mounts used allows you to purchase a ready-made frame or alternatively you can use a professional framer who will give you advice on which type of frame would suit your piece best. Oil paintings are supplied unframed. These can be hung unframed or can be taken to a professional framer.
