Commissioning a painting

Most of my paintings are taken from photographs so obviously the clearer the original photograph the better, particularly around the eyes. I can work directly from normal photographs, digital, transparencies or negatives up to 5" x 4".

If you live in the New Forest area, I would prefer to come to see the subject & take some photographs if at all possible. I normally use a digital camera, so the results can be seen immediately. The original photos will be supplied on cd free of charge when you receive your painting.

A horse commission can be seen from start to finish on the "As seen on TV" page.

Graphite, pastels & watercolours paintings are supplied in a quality double mount. Oils are are unmounted as they are painted on stretched canvas. If you would like to know more about the different mediums, please feel free to contact me.

A wide selection of frames can be supplied. Non reflective glass can be supplied if required. Each customer has different requirements, so this will discussed with you.

I prefer to avoid posting pictures if at all possible, but if this cannot be avoided, the glass will be exchanged for picture quality, plastic glass. This is kinder on your postman & just as clear as glass.

The animals name can be let into the mount if you wish at no extra cost.

Commissions normally take approximately 6 to 8 weeks to complete, but please let me know any specific dates with the order and I will do my best!

To commission a painting, please Email me at claire@ckart.co.uk or phone 07770 922928 to discuss your requirements. No deposit is required for commissions.

Your painting will be posted on the "Work in Progress" page so that you can see the picture develop. If the painting is a gift, I can keep you updated by Email if you prefer.

When you are happy with the result, you can choose to pay by debit/credit card, cheque or cash.

A great deal of my work comes from word of mouth or personal recommendation, I want you to be 100% satisfied with your painting and proud to show it to your friends. When you have received your picture, if you are not completely satisfied with the final results, I will gladly make any necessary alterations or refund your money on return of the painting.
