The commission process:
Firstly, thank you for choosing me to draw your pet!
The first steps are selecting the size you'd like and some photos. Please see a little further down my tips for photographing your pet. Please note in order for me to do the piece justice I require a high resolution image to draw from and reserve the right to turn down an image I do no deem suitable.
Once we have agreed the size and photographs have been received a £50 deposit is required. This deposit is non refundable unless an unlikely event prevents me from completing your drawing. The final payment is due on completion of your drawing and your drawing will be mailed Royal Mail First Class Signed For once payment has been received.
Copyright:
I retain the copyright to all works commissioned by the client. No artwork may be reproduced or altered without my written consent. I will not produce prints of your artwork to be sold, however they may be used for display or promotional purposes.
Photography Tips
Camera's are best to use comparatively to phone cameras, unless it is a high spec phone! Natural lighting is best so try and take photos outside. Get down to your pets eye level (or bring them up to yours!) and ensure you are not too far away from them. Please email your photos to rcarter.artwork@gmail.com in their original format, without editing or cropping (this can reduce the quality of the photo). Ultimately it is your choice of the pose you'd like to go for that best represents your dogs character.
If you live locally to me (West Dorset) I am more than happy to come and photograph your pet. Please contact me so we can arrange a suitable time and location to meet.
Here are some examples of photographs I have taken:
Shipping
Postage to anywhere in the UK is £2.50, your parcel will be delivered using Royal Mail First Class Signed For.
International Shipping
Shipping outside of the UK is £15 (for items smaller than 12"x16.5"). Payment via PayPal will include PayPal fees.
Payment of import duty may be liable in some countries, which is the sole responsibility of the client.
Framing
When framing your commission please ensure you purchase a frame with a mount. This keeps the glass away from the drawing, if the glass touches the pastel it can pull the pastel off of the paper and onto the glass - not ideal!
If you would like me to organise a frame for your commission please let me know.
Framing can either be done professionally or with an 'off the high street' frame depending on your budget. I'm also happy to give advice if you'd like to purchase the frame yourself.
