Custom Portraits
If you are interested in having a Fine Art Portrait of your dog, cat, other pet animal or wildlife custom painted for you in charcoal, soft pastel or oils, my online portfolio and commission pricing information is available at http://michellewrighton.com
Please note that by submitting photo’s for the Dog Paintings series on this blog is not the same as Commissioning a custom portrait, as both the time (mine) and money (yours) investment is different.
I can only accept a limited number of pet portrait commissions and have a waiting list of approximately four months (longer at certain times of year such as Christmas). I prefer to work from my own reference material when possible, however if you are not local to me, your favorite high quality, detailed photographs can be sent to me by email or postal mail for me to work from.
Commissioned portraits are priced according to the estimated time required to complete which will vary according to style, size, medium, individual detail, background requirements and reference photo quality. A firm quote will be provided to you on receipt of your photographs and your custom portrait requirements.
