Artist's Sketch of your pet - commissioned and delivered from just £20
As much as my paintings are very affordable as oil paintings go, I am aware that it can still be a lot of money for those with a tight budget. To enable more people to get their pets captured in originally produced artwork I also offer a sketch range of artwork. (Please note that sketches are limited to UK customers only.)
Simply get in touch with me and then send me a suitable photo of your pet and the size you want. Drawings are done using graphite on A4 or A5 thick paper - these standard size enables the drawings to be easily framed. A4 is approximately 29.7 x 21 cm or 11.7 x 8.3 inches. A5 is half that at 21 x 14.8 cm or 8.3 x 5.8 inches.

Commissioning Process
Just e-mail me or use the contact form on the Contact Me page. I will get in touch and ask you to send me the photograph of your pet you want me to work from and ask for your ordering information (ie portrait size). As long as your photograph is suitable (see photograph tips here) I should be able to accept the commission and I will invoice you. Payment for this is required beforehand to cover costs which you can pay through your credit or debit card via PayPal or in person (see 'Local to me?' below). Please allow up to 8 working days for your sketch to be produced and sent to you once I have received your payment. Once your sketch is done I'll contact you by e-mail to let you know it has been shipped/is ready for collection.

Packaging & Shipping
The graphite surface is protected with a fixative to prevent smudging and wrapped in acid-free tissue paper with layer of cardboard that provides additional protection. It is then placed into a card-reinforced 'Do not bend' envelope for shipping and sent to you via Royal Mail's Signed For delivery service for your peace of mind. Please note that sketches are only available to UK customers currently.

Local to me?
If you live locally to me in East Kent and are able to collect then it is even cheaper for you! A5 sketches £20, A4 sketches £30. When your sketch is done I'll let you know and you can arrange a time for collection. Your sketch will still be sprayed with fixative and placed in a card reinforced envelope (unsealed) for you to collect and protect it on its way home.
