Let me have a good quality image of the subject you want me to reproduce. If you live locally I am happy to come and take photos ...
It's the perfect way for me to capture the look you want. However a great painting can also be achieved from a photo or a collection of images that you already have so don't let distance put you off ...

I go to work on the Image - sizing, design, colour palette etc. I share my sketches with you and we talk about the look of the finished piece. Here you can see that Sue opted for a tryptic as she couldn't decide which image of Blaise that she preferred. This is how individual your artwork can be but I give you plenty of suggestions along the way so that you can be confident in your choices.

Time to produce the finished piece. I use high quality watercolour paper and professional highly pigmented watercolour paint so that the image stays as vivid as the day it is completed. Your painting will never fade.

You choose how you want your picture mounted and framed. If you would like it unframed, you can purchase your artwork mounted and beautifully presented in a transparent eco - cello envelope. This will come in standard sizing to fit straight into an 'off the shelf' frame. Pricing below.

If you would like your bespoke watercolour painting to be exquisitely finished by an artisan local framer, I highly recommend that you ask me to commission 'Old Shop Framing' in Kington to mount and frame your artwork. I take the image along to Alan and together we decide on the perfect mount and frame combination. Customers have been absolutely delighted with the results. Pricing according to size of image and choice of mount, frame and glass.
