The process

Ideas and reference images: Usually we have a quick chat on the phone or whatsApp. Get an idea on the number of ideas/illustrations and budget. I help you narrow down what might work based on that.

Often the size is A3 to fit standard frame with A4 mount, but we can work to your requirements.

Scamps & illustration outline: You’re involved along the way, seeing it at various stages: Rough scamps, colour tests, the final outline … before the final illustration and watercolour painting.

Optional extras - Supply of frame, mounting, larger format.

Prices are often in the range of £320-500, but we create something for lower budgets, we can scale back the number of illustrations or size of painting. Prices include UK Postage & Packaging.
