Experience

My art style has both a modern and traditional approach, bringing the best of both those art worlds together. This includes using modern art materials, mediums, supports, etc., and combining with a traditional approach of painting in layers., glazing and scumbling etc. My preferred painting method is using oil paints which I have used since I began my career as an artist.

Testimonial by television writer Paul Roundell

'I'd never commissioned a portrait before, but Paul guided me through the process patiently and expertly, keeping in touch as the work progressed with emails and photographs. The finished piece was even better than I'd hoped: everyone who's seen it has been blown away and we're thrilled to think that such a lovely thing will hang on our wall for decades to come.'

There are many factors to take into account when giving a price for an art commission. There is the size of the painting, attire to be painted and also whether background and objects are to be included in the painting. So this is a general guide.
