Family Portrait Painting
Keep special memories of a loved one
Portraits are a very unique and special way of reminding us of people who are still or were in our lives, captured in time for always and recalled at a glance. Portraits of family or friends can make a wonderful gift and be a special reminder of that special day and of the people closest to you.
It could be a portrait based on a photo you took whilst you were on holiday, or perhaps a photo you took of loved ones, whatever the occasion. Pencil, Charcoal or Dry Brush are an ideal medium for portrait drawing. If you have a good quality photograph which you would like to see turned into a unique, hand-drawn pencil, charcoal, dry brush, pastel or oil portrait, I am certainly able to accommodate.
Remember, if your portrait is going to be given as a gift or is needed for a special occasion, the oil portraits take between 2 – 3 weeks to complete especially as the oils need to have time to dry before it can be safely delivered to you.
Prices start from £95.oo (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.
