All pencil portraits are on high-grade cartridge paper in standard sizes for easy, off the shelf framing (framing is not included but you don't need to go the bespoke route if you don't want to, helping minimise costs). I don't use computer 'sketch filters' or digital prints with a touch of pencil over the top. This is original, pure pencilwork on paper from start to finish, reflecting my craft, love, care and time.

 

What do I need to do?

Decide on the size. The most popular Sizes are A4 and A3 but I do go larger and as small as A5.

Send through the highest resolution digital file of your favourite images so I can ensure there is enough detail to work from. Ideally avoid teeth in smiles and strong shadows, I can only reproduce the quality I'm given to start with. I will then send you through a very basic mock-up of the composition - especially if the subjects are from different images, for your approval before we begin. I will keep you updated with the progress.

​

Once you've approved the finished image, it will be fixed (to avoid any smudging or transfer,) packed safely and securely against mount board, wrapped and sealed in a cellophane sleeve and sent recorded delivery to ensure it arrives safe and sound or there is the option to pick up if you are local.
