Custom Portrait Commissions: Frequently Asked Questions

Can You Use Multiple Photos for a Family Portrait?

Absolutely! Each individual portrait is carefully drawn, allowing you to select the most flattering photo for each person. I'll then artfully arrange these individual portraits to create a cohesive family portrait that looks as if everyone posed together.

Pricing and Portrait Types

Every portrait is a unique artistic creation, meticulously crafted to capture each subject's individual essence.  Standards portrait pricing is based on a single subject head and shoulders at A3 size or similar.  Larger portraits or portraits with multiple subjects will increase the cost. Our standard portrait options include:

  • Line Drawing: €120

  • Detailed Pencil drawing: €225

  • Oil/Acrylic Painting on canvas: from €315

  • Oil/Acrylic Painting on canvas Pet Portrait: from €265

Have a vision that doesn't fit these categories? I'm happy to provide a custom quote. Simply reach out to me at 0863408855, and we can discuss your specific requirements.

Portrait Sizing

Drawings are created on A3 paper (29x42cm) and paintings canvas (30cm x 40cm), with the canvas size expanding proportionally as more subjects are added to the portrait or at the collector’s request.
