Catherine Payne
Artist

If you would like to commission a piece of art then thank you! I would love to work with you. Please contact me here. I will happily get back to you and talk through your requirements.
​
I work from photographs that you can email to me, good quality digital photos are the preferred option for clarity. Photos taken on phone cameras are usually acceptable so long as they are nice and clear with high resolution. Natural lighting is preferred as artificial lighting can distort the colours.
​
If all you have is an old, blurry photograph, for whatever reason, then of course I will do my best and advise you before I start whether I feel it is possible, but it usually is! Please see my pencil drawings page for examples.
​
A few supporting photos as well as the main one is a good option as I can then get a feel for the subject I am painting from all angles, and see detail from other aspects.
​
Sizes - I have listed prices for most standard sizes but if you would like a different shape or size, then please contact me. My pencil drawings are on paper and my acrylic paintings are on a standard canvas that can be framed (supplied unframed). If you would like the box canvas (which is deeper, no need to frame) then please let me know when ordering.
​
Progress pictures - If you would like to see progress updates as I am working then I will happily keep you involved along the way.
​
Delivery - once you have approved your portrait, you can make full payment and I will then send it out to you. I usually use Royal Mail Next Day Special Delivery, and for larger portraits I use a courier service. Postage charges will be advised at the start of the process.
