Ordering your beautiful portrait couldn't be easier

Step 1 - send your photos

I work only from photographs, so you'll need to selct some good quality shots that show the character of your pet.

If you are going to take some photos especially, have a look at the photographic tips page; it might give you some new ideas.

There are several ways to get your photos to me:

o You can email if you have them electronically, or put them on a CD and post them to me

o You can post printed images and I will take good care of them and return them with your finished portrait

You may also wish to phone me to discuss the portrait. All of my details can be found on the contacts page.

Step 2 - Deciding on the size and support colour

The support is whatever the image is painted on. for my pastel portraits I use Hahnemühle 260 gsm velour paper which results in a lovely soft portrait, full of depth.

Velour paper comes in the nine different colours shown here:

light grey

medium grey

dark grey

yellow

sand

ochre

teal

white

black

Most people like to discuss the support colour and if you're not sure, I can advise on the most appropriate. the thing to remember is that the colour should be appropriate for the subject rather than matching to decor.
