Commissioning a Portrait
My portraits are all hand-painted or drawn using various mediums...
Soft Pastels, Pastel pencils, Acrylic Paint, Drawing Pencils and all artwork
is unique as I use photos to capture the likeness
and special character of the pet, person, place etc.
PRICES...
Price is quoted by estimating the time involved, the medium used,
the number of subjects and the difficulty of the subjects
to create, background or no background etc.
All commission price quotes are for unframed work and
the commission price does not include postage.
Click on the "Prices" button on the menu bar, this page has
artworks and their estimated commission prices!
Occasionally I do have specials running which will be advertised on my Wild at heART Facebook page, bookings for these are always limited and done on a first-in (and deposit-paid) first-served basis!
OTHER INQUIRIES…
All commission inquiries are welcome! Please contact me with your ideas at the
email address: wildatheartcreations@hotmail.co.nz and I will organize a free no-obligation quote.
Once we have agreed on a reference photo and you have given me the go-ahead to proceed with your portrait a 20% non-refundable deposit is required upon booking before I start.
Payable in cash, PayPal or through internet banking.
PHOTOS
High-resolution photos are required as I need to be able to see whiskers and other details to get an accurate likeness (if I can't see it I can't paint it.) The best idea is to email 2-4 of your favourites (jpeg) and I can let you know via email which pose works the best.
If you are using photos created by a professional photographer please ask for permission from them first as their photos may be copyrighted!
If you cannot email photos and have to send them via snail mail please include a return post envelope. I will take the utmost care with your precious photos while they are in my care!
BOOKING DEPOSIT AND PORTRAIT COMPLETION AND PAYMENT
A 30% deposit is required upon booking a portrait.
My Portraits are usually completed over a few hours each day (anywhere between 10 - 45 hours to complete depending on how difficult the subject is and how much detail is involved!)
If your portrait is needed in time for a Birthday or Christmas present, then please give me at least a few weeks’ notice so that I can prioritize it around other work commitments!
Once your portrait is completed, a small copyrighted image will be emailed to you so that you can let me know if there is anything that you would like changed or tweaked!
You are under no obligation to complete the purchase of your portrait if you are not completely satisfied with it (however the 30% deposit is non-refundable and both copyright and original artwork will remain the property of the artist.) If you are completely happy with your portrait then payment can be made completed via internet banking. pay pal or cash.
