Commissions

Do you or anyone you know of have a special occasion coming up?  Perhaps a friend, a family member or colleague or you have a milestone in life to commemorate?  Why not consider a special gift and have a portrait painted. Having a portrait painted is something unique and extraordinary.  A portrait can offer more permanence than a photograph and provide an engaging and timeless reminder of the person portrayed.  Whether it is displayed at home, in the office or workplace, in a public space or institution, it provides a lasting and precious memory of the person which can be viewed every day.

What I need to paint a portrait

There is no need to sit for a portrait painting unless you chose to.  I can paint from photographs. I need several similar, good quality photographs showing the person to be painted from different angles and sides, preferably with side and top light.  I will paint the head and shoulders unless otherwise agreed in advance.  I will paint according to the choice we make together.

All paintings will be done in oil paint and on a good quality canvas.  Canvases are available in different sizes from 60x60 to 100x100 cm

It takes approx. 1 month to complete the portrait and then 1-2 months drying time.

The finished portrait will be sent by carrier/courier or can be collected from me by agreement.

Prices

Prices for a portrait with the head and shoulders range from DKK 4,000 to DKK 10,000, depending on size and level of detail requested.   

An advanced payment of 50% of the agreed price is payable before the portrait is started and the remaining 50% is payment is payable upon approval of the final painting, which I will photograph and send copies to you unless you prefer to drop in in person to see it.  All photographs are returned via post or by in person collection.

I look forward to working for you.
