Pricing and Procedure

Commissions procedure:

I work from photographs. The prices quoted are for portraits worked from photographs supplied by you. I can take photographs for you, if you live locally, for an additional fee.

When selecting photographs please choose several of each subject..At least one for pose and several which clearly show eye and hair colour. Holiday snaps are fine to work from as long as the subject is clear enough. Please note that I can not use professionally taken photographs for the main pose as the copyright on them will belong to the photographer that took them. It is still worth including them though, as they make good reference photos.

I require a 30% deposit to commence work, and the balance upon receipt of the finished portrait.

If your portrait is of more than one subject, from different photos, I can email you a preliminary sketch showing layout before I begin the actual drawing.

Prices quoted are for single subject. For each additional person please add 30% to the price.
Other sizes / subject groupings are available, please contact me with your requirements.

Framing:
Prices quoted are for completed artwork, unframed, packaged between sheets of foam core board.
I can recommend my local framers…abacus photo frames in Mytholmroyd www.mytholmroyd.net/abacus/

Payment:
In the UK you can pay by cheque or via paypal; either from your own paypal account to
katydid@katydid.co.uk or , if you don’t have a paypal account I can make up a listing for you on my MISI shop (uk) or Etsy shop (overseas) so that you can pay via credit or debit card (still via paypal but you don’t need a paypal account to do it)

Gift vouchers:
An ideal present: You pay the initial 30% deposit as usual at which point I will issue you with a voucher outlining the size of portrait and number of subjects. (This can be sent direct to the recipients if you include their address) When the voucher is sent back to me from the recipient along with their photos I will start work and the balance will be payable by you upon completion. The voucher will not state the price paid , but can include a message from you.

Please contact me with any questions.
