How it works
Talk
Free chat in person or digitally
Send your ideas through the enquiry form. Arrange a time to chat in person (within a reasonable radius) or digitally.
Sketch
Approve working drawings
Discuss your inspiration — a portrait, pet, place, or still life — including dimensions, materials, framing, colour references, and the room or space. Good reference images help. Lois produces working sketches for your approval. The initial consultation is free.
Deposit
Half before work begins
Once a price is agreed and confirmed in writing, half is paid before work begins and the balance on completion. Paintings are non-refundable; you work together throughout so the finished piece is something you love.
Deliver
Local hand-over or by post
Delivery in person within a reasonable radius, or by post. Postage and packaging are included in the price.
Pricing
Commission cost is calculated per square inch. You receive a written quote after the initial consultation — no fixed price without discussing your piece.
