Initially, I visit the location and take photos. These will be edited and I will send a small selection to you so you can choose the composition that best suits your needs.
It’s important at this stage to ensure the composition works for you. A painting can take time from conception to completion, it’s best not to hurry the process. I am happy to visit the site a second time if necessary to ensure the right image is achieved.
Once the composition image is selected, I start with a pencil drawing or image transfer. When this is complete I will again send you an image for approval before the masking and painting is started.
When the painting is at the stage I deem ready for removal of the masking, I will again send you an image in case there are any aspects you wish further emphasise.
After this stage the masking will be removed and a photo of the final image will be sent to you. At this stage major changes to the work are not really possible although minor alterations may be made. You are welcome to visit me at the studio to view the final work if preferred.
