When considering a commission, the reference photo is very important. Not every photograph transfers to a good painting. The better the light and the less distorted the image is, the better. Remember that a painted portrait's job is to capture the essence of the person beyond what the camera sees.
Please allow up to three weeks before dispatch. This may increase during the busier times.
Any photographic reference that has a copyright or is not your own, will not be considered. For example, downloaded images of celebrities etc.
The commissions shown here are done so with generous permission of the recipient.
"Andrew painted a portrait of my partner for our anniversary and it was even better than I could have anticipated.
He managed to capture the essence of her, and the expression in her eyes is perfect. It's truly special and a piece we'll keep forever." - Robert J.
"Thank you so much Andrew for our wonderful painting of our baby boy.
You truly captured him and we love it so much. You were so helpful and easy to work with and can’t thank you enough." - Tom and Georgia H.
"I’m so thrilled with the portrait Andrew created of my dad for me.
There’s a feeling of movement to Andrew’s style of painting that you can’t get from a photograph. The likeness is amazing and Andrew was able to bring across vibrancy and so much life to this portrait which is such a special reminder of my dad.
It will have pride of place in my home.
Thank you Andrew!" - Claudine C.
“I commissioned a portrait of my Son to commemorate his first birthday.
Andrew exceeded my expectations with his beautiful watercolour. We have many photographs of my Son but a one of a kind painting is so special.
Andrew was professional, attentive and always striving to please and capture the true character of my Son.” - Amy P.
