ABOUT MY WORK

Personalised hand drawn pictures of your amazing pet. My pictures are very realistic and will capture the true character of your beloved dog.

My favoured mediums to use are Fabre-Castell & Stabilo CarbOthello pastel pencils and Rembrandt soft pastels on Clairefontaine Pastelmat 360g paper. When drawing my pictures I spend many hours on each one aiming to capture the true character of the subject and show as much detail as possible.

I am very easy to communicate with and I will work closely with you to agree your exact requirements. I will keep you up to date as your picture progresses.

See my website for my galleries and customer feedback. I can also be found on F-B or under 'raywestart'

How to Commission a Portrait

If you would like to discuss a commission with me then you can Contact me by phone, email or Messenger. It will then be good to have a conversation to chat about what you would like - if you are happy with what I can do, then we can agree the details.

All I need from you are good quality digital photograph(s) to use as a reference, and to understand any special requirements such as grouping subjects together, background details or any other element of detail you would like included or focussed on.
​
We can then agree a deposit, target date for completion and if required I can keep you up to date as the picture progresses. When your picture is ready I will send you a digital photograph for your review. If there was any detail you felt was not quite right, I will be able to make a final adjustment at that stage.
​
Once you are happy with the photo of the picture, I will provide an invoice and ask for payment to be made by bank transfer.
I will then securely package up your picture ready for posting (unless you are local). I use strong cardboard boxing that delivers your picture flat and ready to mount and frame. I use acid free glassine paper to protect the picture surface, then packing materials for protection against movement.
​
I do not offer a framing service as I think selecting the right mount and frame is a very personal thing, and it needs to fit in with your home decor and budget.
​
Please note: I do not use fixative sprays on my pictures as this can cause some of the vibrancy in the picture to be reduced.

I can offer pictures in a variety of sizes up to 50cm x 70cm and my Prices page on my website shows some indicative prices for the most common sizes. However, please feel free to contact me about any special requirements. I will happily discuss ideas and costs with you without any obligation.
