| OILS ON CANVAS |
| Graham is happy to paint from life or from photographs. |
| On average a portrait from life requires 5 to 6 sittings of approximately 2hrs each,
depending on complexity and size. All paintings are in oils on canvas. |
| Although Graham lives and works in Birmingham he is willing to travel to and from portrait sessions for very reasonable expenses. |
| As every portrait is different it has proven easiest simply to email Graham for a firm quotation of price. (Email address to be found on "Email" page.) |

| Email Graham for prices. |

| GIFT VOUCHERS |
| A portrait voucher is a great way of maintaining the surprise of giving a portrait as a gift while still enabling it to be painted from life. (It also avoids the pressure of arranging sittings and completing a portrait to a fixed deadline such as Christmas, a birthday, a wedding or an anniversary). |
| A voucher can be purchased from Graham for 10% of the total commission price, the remainder to be paid in equal instalments at the end of the first sitting and on completion of the portrait. |
| FRAMING |
| As an experienced Guild Commended Framer Graham can offer a range of hand-finished frames for his work. |
| DEMONSTRATIONS |
| Graham is available to give portrait demonstrations of his method to groups. Fees negotiable. |
| To commission or purchase a portrait or gift voucher, or if you have any other questions or comments please email Graham at the address shown on the "Email" page. |
