Commission an Original Painting
A commission is the most personal way to own original art. Whether it’s a place that holds a special memory, a gift for someone you love, or a lasting keepsake from a milestone moment — I’ll work closely with you to create something that captures it exactly.
One of my most popular commissions is a painting of a wedding church. Many couples want a lasting reminder of where they married — something beyond photographs, created in watercolour and ink. It makes an extraordinary gift, and a piece you’ll keep for life.
Every commission is priced individually. Get in touch and we’ll talk it through.
How It Works
Discuss Your Idea
Tell me about the place, the occasion, and what it means to you. The more you share, the better the painting. We’ll talk through size, style, and anything else that matters.
The Concept Stage
I’ll create an initial composition sketch for your approval. We can refine the idea before any paint touches paper — getting the brief right is everything.
I Create Your Painting
Working through my four-stage process — big shapes, watercolour, tone, and detail — I’ll paint your scene with care. I’ll keep you updated as it develops.
Final Artwork Delivery
Your finished painting, carefully packaged and ready to frame. Each commission comes with a signed certificate of authenticity.
