Child Portrait Painting
A moment in time captured for always
A child is delight and pleasure for all the family. But childhood, quickly and almost imperceptibly passes, children grow and become adults. The task of the artist is to embody and capture the child, to portray on a leaf of paper a portrait of your child’s face and to capture all innocence and charm.
Remember each stage with a beautifully drawn/painted portrait the whole family can treasure. Simply email or post me a photograph of your child & I will lovingly hand draw/paint you an absolutely unique portrait. All the child portraits that I paint will be hand-drawn with pencil, charcoal, dry brush, oil etc to a size of your choosing and take between 1-3 weeks to complete depending on medium chosen.
Prices start from £95.00 (price based on 8″ x 10″ size, one person, head and shoulders). Please note that the dimensions of 8 x 10 inches refer to the DRAWING size. With a standard mat, the dimensions will be 11 x 14 inches. The frame is not included because of the risk of damage during shipping.
