Watercolour Painting Commissions:

Watercolour painting commissions: For me no other medium can compete with the atmospheric, fresh, vibrant and lose style of a good watercolour. 

Over 30 years ago it was impressionistic watercolours that I first fell in love with.

If you are interested in commissioning a watercolour painting from your own ideas and photographs, we can work together stage by stage ensuring you are more than happy with the results.

I can alter the composition, lighting and colour  to enhance your original picture and produce an heirloom to last generations.

These make beautiful unique custom handmade presents.

Drop me a line, with your commission ideas, photographs, details of size required & time frame for completion.

Whether it’s a portrait of your favourite pet, architecture, botanicals, hobbies, sports, surfing, skiing, gardening, golf, landscape, portraits, cats and dogs, houses, cars, wildlife, boats, a birth, wedding, family holidays or any hobby,  I would be happy to consider any of your ideas for a commission.

Whatever your hobby I am more than happy to tackle any new commission subjects, your favourite car, yacht, motorbike,  your favourite golf course hole, cycling, fishing, and so on….

Framing

When it comes to framing your watercolour painting , it is important to include a ‘mat’ or ‘mount’ here’s an interesting article to help you choose.
