Description
I will discuss the arrival time in advance and make sure to set up my equipment in a suitable spot that works well for the couple and guests to capture the scene effectively. This could be at the reception, ceremony, or any other location of your choice. Once there, I’ll set up my easel to get a clear view of my painting subject. I’ll take some reference photos and may request the couple to pose briefly for around 10-20 minutes to start sketching out the initial drawing. This helps me capture each moment with intricate detail. While painting, I’m happy to engage with guests, as this unique experience may be new to them. I typically paint for about 4 hours, starting with an underpainting on a limited panel that I’ll later take back to my studio to finalise the artwork for perfection.
I offer various sizes for your special portrait, which can be discussed prior to making a booking. Each portrait can be framed, and you have the freedom to choose the frame that suits your style. The only additional charge, apart from the frame cost is £30.00 for the framing service. I also provide guest portraits although availability depends on completion time and the complexity of the guest portraits. Travel expenses will vary based on location and can be discussed prior to booking.
The completed artwork will be delivered either by me personally or through a courier service. This process typically takes 6-8 weeks, depending on the size of the piece. This timeframe allows me to add all the intricate details, ensuring that your finished artwork is tailored to your preferences and as you envisioned.
I look forward to being part of your special day!
