FAQ
How long does a commission take?
Most portraits are completed within 4–8 weeks, depending on size and complexity.
Will the painting look exactly like the photograph?
The work is guided by observation and artistic interpretation in oil. The aim is presence and character rather than photographic replication.
When is varnish applied?
A protective surface finish is applied prior to delivery. A final varnish may be added once the painting has fully cured, if desired.
Do you ship internationally?
Shipping arrangements and availability are confirmed during the proposal stage.
