Commissions

Our most popular commission size is A4 or 12" x 8" (30cms x 21cms). Alan uses several grades of graphite pencil or charcoal on 220gsm heavy weight art paper. The drawing is then set in a beveled antique white border and framed in black wood. The outer dimensions are 16" x 12" (40cms x 30cms). Your portrait is packed in bubble-wrap and inserted into a double strength cardboard box and shipped to anywhere in the world for €275 all included. The same drawing shipped anywhere without a frame is €245. Note: we use acrylic instead of glass when shipping portraits. It is more expensive than glass, equally effective and won't break in transit.

I request a €50 deposit (or 25% of the agreed cost whichever is greater) before commencing a commission with the balance payable before shipping. You will receive an email with a proof of your portrait attached to approve prior to shipping.

Prices are approximate for drawing a single individual, head and shoulders portrait excluding framing and delivery. Full body, backgrounds and clothing complexity will add to the price. Either way I can work to your budget with a 'no charge if not entirely satisfied' promise the balance payable.
