3. What size photograph(s) must I send ?
The size is not important. We have even received small snapshots - yet the work produced was magnificent. Send photographs in color - or color transparency slides - or ordinary black and white photographs - or old daguerreotypes or negatives - or you-name-the-type. If you have any doubt whatever, send us what you have in mind. Our artists will go over it carefully and write you a letter by post or email as to whether the photograph(s) is suitable. For black and white photograph please state the color of the subject(s)'s eyes, hair, complexion, clothing, etc.

10. Will my portrait be framed?
Since the choice of frame is a very personal decision, based on where the painting will be hung and the surrounding décor, all our oil portrait paintings are sent to you in a protective tube as an un-framed rolled canvas. This avoids the possibility of damage and also enables us to keep costs down since the cost of an oil portrait painting, if framed by us, would be significantly increased due to the carriage and packing charges involved. Your reputable local framer will be able to offer you a wide choice of frames, from which you will be able to select the one that best suits your needs, at a price that will produce savings for you.
