Commissions

If you would like to commission a watercolour painting of wildlife then please do get in touch, I am happy to paint the animal or bird of your choice, details such as composition and colour can be discussed through email and a deposit will be required to secure a booking. There is often a waiting list as I can only manage to paint a small number per year along with my own art for exhibition, so if it's for a gift then please allow me plenty of time.

Commissioned Watercolour Prices 2023

My prices and options are as follows:

• A4 painting single animal £125.
• A3 painting single animal £165.
• A3 painting 2 animals £250.
• Larger work price on application.

The above prices are for an unmounted painting supplied with a card backing. Window mounts can be supplied at a small extra cost if required and cut to fit the frame size of your choice, please arrange with me when booking. Please note I no longer supply frames unless local collection is arranged.

A deposit is required to secure a place in the book, I work on a first come first serve basis but if there is a time scale such as a birthday to work towards then let me know and I'll try to complete it in time.

I only paint a limited number of pet portraits per year and can only work from good, clear photos. When ordering pet portraits, please put some thought into the photos you send to me. Bear in mind that I can only see what is visible in the photo and I don't know your pet. I will need close-up images taken in good, preferably natural light, showing details such as eyes and nose in sharp focus. Take the photos from your pet's level, not from above as this can cause awkward foreshortening. The photos should be high-resolution if possible and sent full size by email or through www.wetransfer.com to sandimower@gekkoart.uk  Please avoid screenshots or copying images from social media sites as they will be compressed. Feel free to send as many photos as you like so that I have plenty of choices and various views to work with.
