Listed above are the base prices for a portrait (head + shoulders) on pastelmat paper, with a simple, colored background. Frame and shipping aren’t included. A complex setting/background may add 25% or more depending on complexity and size. Contact me to discuss your wishes and I’ll be able to give you an exact quote.

The portrait will be created from a (digital) photograph provided by you. The quality, lighting and composition of the reference photos has a direct relation to the quality of the finished portrait, so to ensure a good result, please make sure your image is of high quality.

The commission starts when the 50% deposit has been payed. I start sketching after we’ve discussed your exact wishes for the portrait. The graphite sketch is then sent to you digitally for your approval. If needed one round of revisions will be made. Once the sketch is approved, the sketch is transferred to the Pastelmat paper, and I’ll start the coloring stage.

When the portrait is finished I’ll send a picture for your approval. Again, one round of revisions will be made. Since it’s very hard to make big revisions in pastel, only minor adjustment can be made during this stage. If the portrait meets your approval, it will be shipped to you as soon as the remaining balance is paid.

Your commission can be completed within a two to four week period, depending on the size and time available.

When the commission is placed I require a deposit of 50% of the quoted fee before starting the painting. This deposit is only refundable when I should be in the rare position to have to cancel the contract myself. The balance becomes due when the portrait is finished and meets your approval. Once the payment is fulfilled, the portrait will be shipped out. I accept payments through Ideal, bank transfer (EU only) or Paypal.

World wide shipping is available. All portraits are safely packaged to prevent bending or smudging and all portraits are shipped with insurance. Shipping within the Netherlands is €7,86. The costs of international shipping may vary depending on the destination and size. Contact me for a quote.
