A pencil portrait is a great way to commemorate someone you love, here's a few handy tips before you get started! If there are any burning questions you have unanswered don't hesitate to contact Lucy via email HERE

HOW TO COMMISSION A PORTRAIT

to commission a portrait it's recommended that you have several good quality photographs for the artist to reference. If you don't and it's possible to do so, then we can offer a photography service to local customers to ensure the quality of the piece is retained. In many cases, such as a bereaved pet this isnt possible but dont fret, we can discuss the individual logistics of your commissioned portrait during consultation. It is also handy to have a size and medium in mind but we are also happy to recommend the most approptiate approach. A little information about the subject is handy too if the artist is to capture the individuality of the subject.
