How to order a picture

​Step 1 - Look at the four picture options below to see which suits you best.

Step 2 - Go to the Price list to get an idea of fees.

Step 3 - Contact me - either a call or an email for a no obligation consultation and quote.

Step 4 - If you agree to me doing the artwork I require a 25% deposit and I will then start the artwork. 

I could visit you to take reference photos if convenient or you can supply your own good quality images.

Step 5 - I'll email you initial layouts for your approval.

Step 6 - I'll email you the final image for approval and post or deliver the artwork by hand.

I prefer to work from life as much as possible - using primarily sketches or any photographs that I have taken myself. If you are local to The New Forest I can come to you in order to take photographs or to sketch. If a home visit is not possible then when sending photographs that you have please ensure that they are of a good quality and as high a resolution as possible.

Photographic Tips

• The best photos are taken outdoors in natural light, back to the sun, close up and sharp. Avoid unnatural angles (such as the dog staring up at a camera above their head).

• Try also to avoid a really sunny day or very overcast day as the photograph may then distort the true colour of their coat. 

• The best are those taken on a level with the dog's head.

• If it's a small dog place them on a chair so you can get level with them.

• Please supply several images so I can have a choice and create the best artwork of your dog or dogs. You can email or post them to me.
