Introduction: I am an English mural and portrait painter, and photographer. I'm now living in Oklahoma, USA but can travel for a suitable commission. If possible I paint from my own portrait sittings and photoshoots, however, I also paint many portraits from my customers own photos. Although I was classically trained at Nottingham University in England and can paint in any style, my go to style is photorealism. Since I am both an artist and photographer, the two disciplines heavily influence my work. Quite simply I like my art to have photographic qualities, and my photography to look like art. My style will, however, obviously depend on my customers wishes, and my goal is to always meet and exceed their expectations for a commission. I love to paint in acrylics as I can continually rework acrylic paint until my work is exactly how I want it to be. I paint in oils too but with slower drying times oil painting take much longer. Watercolors are not my thing as you have to get them right first time, and I rarely get anything right first time!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My estimates are based on my assessment of how long a mural will take to paint, at $85 per hour. This generally works out to be around $5 per square foot for background work, and $15 to $20 per square foot for detailed work, This is for a flat wall, at ground level. Anything higher than 7 feet high will be take a little longer, and will therefore be a little more expensive. Other costs may include design and preparation costs, and travel expenses if over 100 miles away. The level of detail required will depend on both my clients wishes, and their budget, and the viewing distance the mural will be seen from. You can see the cost estimate for each of the individual paintings in my Tractor Yard mural in my sample photos. To get an idea of the size of these, the standard door frames painted on are 7 feet door frames.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
My customers provide drawings, photos, or just ideas of what they want. I reply with draft images of what the artwork would look like, with an estimate of how much that would cost. I make adjustments as necessary and begin the work.
