What you need to get started

A high resolution photo

A clear high resolution photo with decent lighting is very important; the eyes must be very clear and the colour must be true to real life. The photo you choose should also reflect how you want them to look in the portrait, as the portrait will be like for like in regards to the positioning..

Deposit

A 50% deposit is paid upfront, and the remaining 50% of the price is paid upon completion. The initial deposit is not refundable, but the second half does not need to be paid unless you’re happy.

Your Input

Below is a Portrait Guide for you to look at to see what style would best suit you. If you aren’t sure which type of portrait would best suit what you’re looking for please feel free to get in touch! I’m happy to have a chat.

Testimonials

"Mel was so great to work with! I had her do a watercolor for one of my best friends. It was of my best friends dog and it was stunning. None only is she very talented and detail oriented, but she was very responsive when I had questions and got it done and mailed out to me in the US (from the UK). My friend absolutely loved it!"

All portraits include:

  • professional mounting (matting)
  • 1-2-1 consultation 

They do not include:

  • Shipping – I ship worldwide, but this is not included in the price. Please see the shipping section at the bottom of the page.
  • Framing – pieces  do not come framed, however I do try to keep them to standard sizes after mounting (matting) so you can frame it for a reasonable price
