Commissions

Interested in getting a portrait done? Brilliant.

I love doing portraits that are full of expression, individuality and personality, and making each one something that will be cherished forever. Scroll down for details & how to get in touch

PRICE
Costs range from €800-€6,000 for a portrait, depending on the number of subjects/ size etc. This price will be agreed upon via email correspondance, and the painting process will begin following receipt of deposit (50% of total cost).

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE?
How long a painting takes to finish varies from painting to painting, but I generally dedicate 2-3 weeks to any given commission. Together we will confirm a deadline date that works for you and fits in my schedule.

WHAT ABOUT SIZE?
In terms of size of canvas, I’m happy to chat through your preference (square/ 3:4 ratio/ portrait/ landscape etc), but my style is definitely better suited to bigger pieces. For example, a 1-2 person portrait would be I say A3 size minimum, for 3 people it would be A2 minimum, and so on. I prefer to work on deep edge canvases (which can be hung directly on your wall without the need for a frame, but can also sit beautifully in a frame) and I opt between acrylics and oils.

WHAT DO I NEED TO DO?
All I need from you is a photo (or a choice of a few photos if you’re not sure which one to go with) of the image you would like turned into a bespoke painting, which can be sent via whatsapp/email/ wetransfer. I only work from the image you give me and I do not have the capacity to do major edits or stitch separate photos together etc. You can let me know if you have any colour preferences etc and I will be happy to accommodate as best I can, depending on the image given (if there are any issues on that front I will let you know). Please note once the painting is complete, I do not make further changes.

OK LET'S DO IT
If this sounds good to you, then please EMAIL geraldinecartonart@gmail.com with a brief description of what you are looking for, alongside an image, and we can chat further. Thanks
