THE PROCESS

Having a portrait commissioned is a collaboration of discovery for the sitter and Artist alike.  Allowing the painting to evolve over time is an important part of Daniel’s approach and painting takes place primarily from life.  Whilst every project takes a different amount of time to complete some sittings with Daniel are required. He prepares his own pigments and the highest quality canvasses for all works.  You, or the sitter will be immersed into the world of contemporary portraiture.  Whether it’s inside or outside the studio it is sure to be a memorable experience for years to come.

ENQUIRE

Commissions can take many different forms and prices vary accordingly. Whatever it is you have in mind,  from a delicate charcoal portrait to a full-size portrait of the grandparents you can contact Daniel today and have a chat.
