How It Works
The Creative Journey of the Portrait Process
Commissioning a custom oil portrait is a highly personal and detailed process, designed to ensure that your vision is realised in every brushstroke. From our first conversation to the final delivery, the portrait process is tailored to your vision. Explore each step of the creative journey, from consultation to delivery, and see how your custom portrait comes to life.
Initial Consultation
Every portrait begins with a conversation. We’ll explore your vision, discuss your preferences, and review the subject to ensure the portrait is a true reflection of its essence.
Design & Concept
Working closely with you, I’ll sketch preliminary designs that capture the mood, setting, and composition of the portrait. Whether it's based on photos or live sittings, your input is invaluable.
Creating Your Portrait
With the design approved, I begin the painting. Should you wish, you’ll receive updates throughout the process, allowing you to witness your portrait come to life. Patience and precision are key to ensuring that every detail is perfected.
Final Touches & Delivery
Once the painting is completed and fully dried, it undergoes varnishing to protect and enhance its vibrancy. Your portrait is then carefully packaged or framed and delivered directly to you.
Working With Robert
Your trusted Collaborator
I believe that creating a portrait should be a journey we take together. From our very first conversation, my goal is to understand what makes your subject special to you. Through a collaborative and personalised process, we work together to create a portrait that reflects your vision and brings your story to life
Through dialogue, sketches, and collaboration, we’ll ensure that every brushstroke reflects your vision. Whether we work from photographs, live sittings, or both, the process is designed to make you feel involved and confident that the final portrait will exceed your expectations.
I pride myself on making the portrait commissioning process not just effortless, but truly enjoyable. Your portrait is a reflection of both the subject and your personal connection to it.
Hear from Robert's clients
The experience of commissioning a custom portrait is unique for every client. Hear firsthand from those who have shared their stories and experiences, and see how a bespoke portrait can be transformative.
It was so much fun - he involved me at every stage, making it feel like a collaboration.
I ended up with a gorgeous painting and it had the desired effect, my sister cried with joy (and her dogs barked with alarm at their lifelike oil doppelgängers!)
I can’t recommend him enough!
