About Ian

Ian worked in the media and advertising and more recently as an actor, before devoting more time to painting. He works in oils and acylics and often with a mix of the two. He particularly likes to paint portraits of both people and animals.

Commissioning a painting

Ian offers a friendly, personal service to produce a special and memorable painting.

“For a portrait, we’ll need to consider the composition, colours, style of clothes, the pose, lighting and background of the picture. We’ll also discuss the size of the painting, the eventual framing and where the painting will hang.”

“For a pet or animal, we’ll look at the setting and pose which really captures their character and personality.”

“Later, I’ll take some high quality photographs. We’ll review these together and choose the reference picture for your painting.”

How much does a painting cost?

The cost of a painting reflects the amount of work that goes into it. Generally, the more intricate and bigger it is, the more it will be.
