How to Find & Commission a Portrait Artist

The most challenging task is finding the right portrait artist so we have designed the most sophisticated and user-friendly web-site to do so. Throughout, our staff are ready to assist by telephone on + 44 (0) 20 7921 9708. With our extensive and growing database you will quickly be able to survey a huge range of possibilities, one or more of which are likely to appeal.

Special Selection Categories
The Special Selection Categories will enable you to see examples by each artist and progressively define what it is you are looking for. Once you have identified an artist that might appeal, you can access their personal portfolio for more examples, an up to date biography, prices, press cuttings and commissioning procedure.

Throughout, you can use the ideas basket to store possibilities and suggestions, or create a shortlist of artists that you would like to discuss.

These can then be e-mailed to friends & associates, as well as yourself and the agency.

Talk to Us
At all stages we urge you to talk to us on +44 (0) 20 7921 9708 or, better still, come and see us. We have a close knowledge of each artist and can further refine your ideas with our library of portfolios.

The Start of the Portrait
Once you have agreed the portrait commission a simple contract will be drawn up between you and the artist, and a deposit paid. The portrait is now ready to begin. In most cases, the artist will travel to your location and may stay for a day or more. Travel and accommodation costs are normally extra, though some artists include them within the portrait fee. In most cases two to three instalments including the initial deposit are required for the commission. The final instalment will be paid on completion.
