Commission a Life & Art original

1 Choose the size of portrait that best suits you, then send a suitable photograph together with any useful background information about your chosen subject. We then start your commission by creating a pencil sketch which we send to you for approval via email once complete.
2 Once you approve our sketch, we start the finished painting. On completion -(allow about two weeks)- we send through a digital photograph of the finished original. At this stage we ask for payment in full before completing the painting in a slip mount, carefully packing and dispatching to the address of your choice.



Our portrait price includes a reference to two of your chosen subject’s character traits, hobbies, sports or pastimes. For more than two references, please give details and we will quote the additional cost.
Life&Art caricature portraits are created traditionally in black line work and watercolour.

Artworks are produced using the finest quality watercolour paper and materials. Once complete, originals are supplied to you signed in a slip mount ready for you to frame as you wish.

We are able to frame our originals for an additional cost of around £65.00 + delivery and vat.
