Commissions

Child Portrait - Sarah. Graphite.

 

Portrait-commissions 

I am happy to take on most commissions  – head & shoulders, full-body, and more recently, pets and kids.

A Rough Idea of Cost
Pencil, charcoal: £300-500
Oil: £750 – £1500

N.B. I ask for 50% upfront and the remainder on completion.

Process
I have to work from photos as my portraits take weeks or even months to produce. I can work from photos supplied or can do a photoshoot myself.

Timeframe
I like to have 1-3 months to complete but can do them quicker if required, depending on workload.

 

 

Portrait of MOP.

“Patrick is a huge talent. 

He has not only captured our beloved pet he has captured their enthusiasm for life!! 

Patrick is a perfectionist – his eye for detail is acute as is his dedication to deliver the very best. He worked endlessly hard, including me every step of the way. I was touched. 

I cannot wait for Patrick to create our next painting!”

Portrait Commission for Dan

Portrait for Dan

You know you’ve basically given me a family heirloom??

Amazing. Thanks so much!” Dan


“Patrick made a beautiful portrait of my daughter and I, he is incredibly talented and the whole process was so lovely.

He  communicated with me throughout so I felt so involved in the creative design and sent regular updates and pictures throughout. When i saw it face to face it literally made me cry. He captured so much emotion – such a special picture.

We will 100% use him again and would recommend in a heart beat. If you want something super personal then he is your guy!!!” Alice

Portrait of Sarah (monochrome oil)

“Thanks Patrick for a brilliant portrait – we both love it! It was a brilliant experience throughout and we felt thrilled to have you working on this for us.

It’s more than a likeness, it also captures a time, a feeling, a frame of mind. Every good wish.”
Sara.
