Commissioned Pet Portraits
Through my realistic style of painting I always aim to capture the beauty and personality of every animal I paint. My friendly commission service lets you order an original painting of a beloved pet or favourite animal… I can also paint landscapes and people.
If you are interested in commissioning me to paint for you, then take a look at my guide below and then please get in contact with all the relevant details. I paint in all mediums, however my preferred medium for commissions is oils on stretched canvas
Sizing and Prices
(Sometimes canvas sizes aren't exactly these dimensions, so these are approximate costs)
A4 (21x29.7cm) - $300
A3 (29.7x42cm) - $400
A2 (42x59.4cm) - $600
Prices are for single subjects only. Please add $100 for multiple subjects.
If you are wanting a square image, the price is for the image it would fit inside. For example, a 30x30cm portrait would approximately fit on an A3 sheet of paper, so it would be $400). This is because even though the painting is smaller than A3, with a rectangular piece the bulk of the details generally fit in a square somewhere on the artwork, so it's really just about what shape fits the portrait and your wall better.
Multiple subjects are only available on A3 or larger, so the smallest size of painting for a multi subject would be 30 cm wide/high, whether square or rectangle, which would make it $500. Two subjects probably takes me twice the amount of time to paint.
Postage not included
Framing, should it be required (for watercolour and pastel paintings), or desired for oil /acrylic paintings is also not included in the price.

The Commission Process
Step One: Get in contact
Fill out the contact form here, or drop me a message via facebook or email to chat about the kind of painting you would like to have done, and we can chat about what you need.
Step Two: Pick your photos
The quality of the photographs you send me definitely influence the quality of your commission, as I have likely never met your pet and cannot work miracles with poor quality photographs, although I am pretty good at working with what you have, especially if you are unable to get more photos. I am happy to have a chat with you and talk about what kind of photos are the best to work from.
Step Three: Book your commission
Once we've discussed the commission, and I have sent you a quick sketch for you to approve the layout of the painting, I will send you a contract via email. Before I start painting, I require at least 50% of the final cost upfront, the contract must also be signed and returned. I will keep you updated throughout the process, and, once I have finished, I require full payment before you pick up the artwork or I post your commission out to you.
I look forward to working with you to create a piece of artwork that showcases the unique beauty of your pet!
