Commissioning a pet portrait can be a little daunting! However the process is very straight forward! Please have a read through this following guide and have a look at my past pet portraits in the gallery!

​

Step 1

Each detailed hand drawn pet portrait takes time! And as a general guide it takes me 2 - 3 weeks to complete an A4, and 3 - 4 weeks to complete an A3. It all depends on the surface, detail and the clarity of the photos I have been sent.

​

Step 2

Before I start a  commission I require good quality, clear, detailed (preferably digital) photographs of your pet to work from (see below for a great photo example!). Don't worry! I can help you decide which ones are the best pose and quality to work from! Please send as many as you like to carolspencerart@gmail.com

​

The better the detail, the better the portrait!

​

Once I accept your photographs, I can advise you as to which ones are the best to work with. I will then mock up some composition ideas of the portrait for you to choose from. 

One a composition has been agreed on, at this point,  I ask for a 50% booking fee (non refundable, unless an unlikely event means that I am unable to do your artwork). Once I have this I will be able to lock you into my schedule by giving you a week commencing date.

​

​

Step 3

​

Along the creative journey, I will keep you fully informed  and send you progress pictures for you to see... Or keep it a surprise! (you decide!) Once the artwork is complete I will send a final picture to make sure that you are happy with the end result. Once the remaing balance has been paid I will send your portrait to you!

​

Please kindly note: Commission  artwork must be paid in full on completion and before dispatch

​

The portrait(s) will arrive to you, mounted on thick mounting board within a card frame surround and enclosed in a protective plastic sleeve.

Portraits can be hand delivered (locally) or posted ( free of charge within the UK), wrapped in in plenty of packaging to avoid damage!
