Current fees for commissions are as follows:
Black & White Alla Prima Portraits
Single head and shoulders £900
Alla prima portraits are painted without waiting
for layers of paint to dry. This results in a more
expressive effect in which the richness of brush
strokes and textured paint are more visible.
Colour Alla Prima Portraits
Single head and shoulders £1,200
Alla prima portraits are painted without waiting
for layers of paint to dry. This results in a more
expressive effect in which the richness of brush
strokes and textured paint are more visible.
Colour alla prima portraits usually take more
time than black and white versions as accurate
colour mixing can take quite a lot of time in itself.
Limited-Palette Portraits (Layered)
Single head and shoulders £3,000
Limited palette portraits are painted to the same
level of professional finish as full-colour pieces
by gradually building the painting in layers,
but will be painted in monochrome (tonal
variations of one colour), or duo-chrome (tonal
variations of two harmonious colours) to provide
a unique painting in less time than a full-colour
portrait.
Full-Colour Portraits (Layered)
Single head and shoulders £6,000
Full-colour portraits are made using hundreds
of precisely mixed individual colours and
gradually building the painting in layers in order
to produce a painting of high realism.
Large-Scale Portraits
Full-figure / multi-figure portrait £9,000 +
Large portraits with a full figure, multiple figues
or complex background settings are priced on
an individual basis, based on estimated time
and materials. Only available as limited-palette
or full-colour portraits (layered).
Double Portraits +30%
30% will be added to the price for double
portraits (two people on one canvas).
For example, a double limited-palette
layered portrait would be £3,900.
This only applies to normal-sized alla prima
or layered portraits. For large multi-figure
portraits please see Large-Scale Portraits
above.
