Order information and terms of business

All portraits are drawn personally by me, freehand, starting from a blank sheet of paper.

Send me your photo/s by post or email and I'll contact you within 72 hours to discuss your requirements. I'll confirm the price and expected completion date - which is usually about three weeks.

If you would like to proceed with an order send me a £25 non-refundable deposit (by Paypal, cheque, or credit card via Paypal) and I will start work.

When finished I will email a scan of your drawing for approval. Once you are completely satisfied, send me the balance of your payment and I will send you your picture by your selected method.

My pictures are head, or head-and-shoulders studies without background.
Animals can be drawn in colour or graphite. However, some animals have coats unsuitable for graphite work. I may be able to achieve a similar effect with monochrome pastels, which I will discuss with you if it arises.
For coloured portraits I use pencil or pastel at my discretion.
Portraits of people are usually in graphite.

Copyright

Photographs are copyright, and ownership usually belongs to the person who took the photo, or the person who paid for it to be taken. For each photo you send me you are granting me an indefinite licence to use it, copy it, and display it in any way - so it is important that you own the copyright or have permission to grant this licence.

Further, for each photo you send me you are agreeing to indemnify me against any costs arising from claims made against me by a person claiming to own the copyright.

Gift Vouchers

Cash-value vouchers can be used against the total price of a commission. Picture-value vouchers can be used for a standard single-subject picture of the type shown including standard UK delivery, but excluding extra costs such as additional subjects, larger sizes, upgraded or non-UK delivery, bridles, collars and backgrounds all of which are payable at the time. Orders must be placed within twelve months and vouchers are not refundable

Other terms and conditions

If you do not wish to purchase the finished portrait, you will forfeit the initial deposit and I will retain ownership of the drawing and its copyright will vest in me, along with the right to display or sell the original and/or images of it to third parties.

I may place an image of your purchased portrait in my various web galleries unless you specifically request me not to do so.

These terms are to be read in conjunction with my 'Prices' webpage and your payment of the deposit constitutes your confirmation of your acceptance of the terms on both pages.
