Commission a Cattle or Horse Painting
I accept commissions for original cattle and horse paintings in oil on canvas, creating each piece individually from carefully selected photographs.
Every commission begins with a conversation. We can begin by discussing the animal you would like me to paint, the photographs you have available, and your ideas for the finished portrait.
Commissioning a painting is a straightforward and exciting process. To create a painting for you, I would first discuss a few details with you, including size, canvas orientation, subject, background, colour and the overall feeling you would like for the finished piece.
Once we have agreed on a way forward, I will produce two detailed colour compositions for you to choose from. When one of those drawings is absolutely right, I will carefully scale the composition onto the chosen canvas and begin the oil painting.
Keeping you updated
I will send you regular updates and photographs as the painting develops, and you are also very welcome to visit my studio in Bath to see the work in progress.
I take three payments for a commission: 30% to book the commission in and begin the drawings, 30% once the composition drawing has been chosen, and the final 40% when the painting is complete and you are happy with the finished piece.
