Commissions

To commission a piece of artwork

please email me at artist@meganhunter.co.uk or use the contact form.

To me portraiture is not only about capturing the subjects likeness but also their character. I aim to deliver not only an artwork that is of the highest quality but also a piece of work that will be cherished for years to come. I am happy to work from photographs (depending on the quality) but I can also travel to my clients to take my own photographs and do preparatory sketches to help aide capture the personality of my sitters. 

I work mainly in oils on aluminium but I can also work in pencil. I can be commissioned to paint or sketch a single subject or a group.

Every client and commission are very unique. Quotes are tailored to fit every individual request. Scale, background detail and the amount of additional content etc. These are all factors that are taken into account when providing a quote.

 I ask for a 50% non-refundable deposit once we have agreed on the details of the commission to secure your booking. The remaining 50% is to be paid once the artwork is completed and accepted. Shipping and framing can be provided at an extra cost.

Commission process

Option 1. Painting from a photo provided by the client.

The first option is to work from photographs provided by you. The photographs need to be high quality, this means that they need to be be high resolution, sharp images with good lighting (not using flash). The better the quality of the photograph the greater the artwork will be. If you have a photograph you would like me to consider please include it in the email.

Option 2. Painting from my own photographs + reference drawings.

The second option is for me to take the photographs myself and to gather some reference sketches. Meeting the sitter is always helpful in capturing a persons personality but we can also discuss how they would like to be painted and explore different ideas on site. I also believe the best way to capture someone fully is in their home or somewhere they are familiar with as it makes them more relaxed.
