Can You Paint My Sighthound?

 Monoprint

Watercolour

Recently a number of people have asked me to paint their dog, so I thought I would outline how this works. I accept commissions for whippets, greyhounds and lurchers.

Stage One        A Photograph Of Your Hound

To get started you need to supply me with a photograph of your hound against a plain background. I am looking for a clear shape and need to see their eyes, ears and paws. If you are unsure what to email, a look in the sighthound section of my website will help.

Stage Two       Pick A Type of Artwork

Monoprint - Line drawing of hound using black ink on heavyweight cartridge paper, which will take two weeks to complete, supplied loose for you to take to a framer.

A4 11.7 x 8.3 inches          £95

A5 8.3 x 5.8 inches            £75

Watercolour - One colour (either black or brown) tonal painting of your hound on watercolour paper, which will take two weeks to complete, supplied loose for you to take to a framer. Same sizes and prices as monoprints

Oil Painting - Oil painting on plywood, of your hound with a background which will take six weeks to complete. Prices range from £195 - £595

Stage Three     Approval and Payment

I email you a copy of the finished artwork for approval. If satisfied you then post me a cheque for the full amount.

Stage Four       Delivery 

Once the cheque has cleared, I post your artwork first class mail.

In the unlikely event the artwork is not what you had hoped, return it within 7 days for a full refund.

If you are outside the UK, we agree in writing the additional postage cost.
