Please find below my FAQs, have a wee read through them and if your question still isn't answered, drop me an email!
​
How do I order a commission?
Please feel free to 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.
What are your prices?
I offer a variety of prices depending on the size and medium of the work you wish to commission. Prices start at £100 for an A5 pet portrait in either conte or charcoal+graphite for a single subject, ranging to £310 for an A3 portrait in graphite that includes 3 subjects – and everything in between!
For a full list of my price options, please follow this link:
Do you draw from photographs?
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:
If you would like me to take my own photo references for your portrait, we can organise a walk together where I can photograph your dog out and about. For more information on this option, please follow this link:
How do I pay?
I require payment by bank transfer – details will be discussed over email in our commission enquiry correspondence and an invoice will be sent accordingly.
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.
Do you ship your artwork?
I do indeed! I will send your precious portrait special delivery and tracked, to ensure as safe a delivery as possible.
I am happy to ship worldwide.
Can I get my commission framed?
I don’t offer a framing service I am afraid.
How much is postage?
Postage depends on the size and weight of the package. Prices start from £15.
Can I share my commission on social media?
Yes indeed! I would love for you to share your commission, it would be greatly appreciated.
