How does it work?

Step one: Choose your budget, size and style

I offer a variety of sizes to suit your space and budget. All prices are in GBP and shipping is at an additional cost. If you are local to Nottingham then we can also arrange collection in person.

ACEO - 3.5 x 2.5 inch painting on paper (£25)
A5 6 x 8 inch Wacky Wednesday (mixed media piece on paper) (£30)
A4 8 x 11 inch Wacky Wednesday (mixed media piece on paper) (£50)
A5 6 x 8 inch painting on canvas board (£150)
A4 8 x 11 inch painting on canvas (£290)
A3 11 x 16 inch painting on canvas (£570)
A2 16 x 24 inch painting on canvas (£1130)

Step two: Choose your photos and background colour

Check out my How to Photograph Your Pet guide to help you choose the best photos for your pet.

When choosing a background colour, think about where you will put your painting and what might go well there. You can send me photos of the intended place for the painting and I can suggest some ideas if you are unsure.

Step three: Contact me!

Either fill in the form below or send me an email with the same details. You're also welcome to contact me via social media if you prefer.

Step four: Pay a 50% deposit

Once we have had a chat you pay half of the total amount in advance before I start any work.

Step five: Sketch approval

Once the deposit is paid I will create digital mock-ups or sketches of what your painting might look like and send these to you so that you can choose your favourite. During this process you get to make 3 changes to the initial sketches. Any additional changes may incur an additional charge.

Step six: Painting begins!

Once the sketches are approved then I get to work on your painting. I will video the process and once the painting is complete and you are happy with it, I will post these videos.

Final step: Final approval

I send you a photograph of the final painting, at this point you will get one more change if needed. Additional changes are at the discretion of the artist and may incur a further charge. You then pay the remaining amount and I will then ship the painting out to you.

Start your commission

Tell me a little about your portrait and I'll be in touch, usually within a week. Once we've chatted, you can email your reference photos to Kathrynroseart@outlook.com.
