Frequently Asked Questions

Please drop me an email at kalindsell@gmail.com with your enquiry on a commission.  If you know what you want already, great!  Let me know the details!  Otherwise just open a line of communication and we can have a friendly wee discussion on the options available and what might suit your needs and the subject in question.

I offer a variety of prices depending on the size and medium of the work you wish to commission. Prices start at £110 for an A5 pet portrait in charcoal+conte for a single subject, ranging to £325 for an A3 portrait in pastels+pastel pencils. Additional subjects are available at an added cost. 

For a full list of my price options, please follow this link:

Price List

Yes, I draw from photographs. I need high resolution photographs to work from to ensure you get the best portrait possible as I require a lot of detail.

If you only have the physical photograph from a pet that has since passed away, I will require a scan of the image emailed to me at full size.

Camera phones take great images these days, so you do not need a proper camera to send me high quality images!  I just ask please that you email the original images to me at a high resolution. For details on how to take the best photos for a portrait, please follow this link and check out my guide:

Photograph Examples

I require payment by bank transfer – details will be discussed over email in our commission enquiry correspondence and an invoice will be sent accordingly if desired.

I require a non-refundable 25% deposit for the full cost of the portrait up front before I begin.  The remainder of the portrait fee plus P&P will be required on completion before postage. 

I do indeed!  I will send your precious portrait special delivery and tracked, to ensure as safe a delivery as possible. Due to recent changes in laws I am only able to ship within the UK unfortunately. 

I don’t offer a framing service I am afraid.

Yes indeed!  I would love for you to share your commission, it would be greatly appreciated.
