I don’t tend to send ‘progress’ pictures at an early stage because I work very much in a layered way with various mediums ( oil, acrylic, gold, etc) blocking out areas of tone, texture, erasing into them, and then refining, layering them further, until the image finally comes alive as your final portrait.
That being said, I’m always available if you want to check in with me and hear how it’s going, especially if you have a deadline. I’ll keep in regular contact with you if this is the case so you know that your portrait will be completed on time. Communicating is my forte!
Once your portrait is completed, I’ll send over an invoice. For delivery, if you’re in the USA, I use UPS. For UK or Canada, I will ship with the better value ( either UPS or DHL) This is a fully tracked and signed-for service and you will receive your tracking number and when to expect delivery (before mailing it I will check with you which is a good day to receive your portrait) Framed portraits are sent via UPS to guarantee non breakable.
Mat and Framing services available as an add on service.
