SUBJECT MATTER
​
Acrylic canvas paintings are suitable for painting vibrant colourful scenes and portraits. I am happy to discuss any type of commission. I will need photographs or other digital reference to work from.
​
Illustrations are completed on paper with watercolour paints and/or pen ink.
​
COMBINING PHOTOGRAPHS
​
I am able to combine separate photographs into one composition. This could be the creation of a family portrait. Complex pieces are only suitable for canvas paintings.
​
MATERIALS
​
Canvas paintings are completed in acrylic paints. They are versatile, make for vibrant paintings and dry quickly.
​
FINISHING AND FRAMING
​
All original art-work is presented with a certificate of authenticity.
​
Canvas’s are ready to hang – you can either use string or canvas mount fixings. They do not require framing, but you can frame them if you wish – I would recommend getting the piece framed by a professional who can create bespoke sizing and styles.
​
Illustrations are completed on cartridge paper, presented and packaged with cellophane and backed with card.
​
Illustration Books come in a presentation box to keep safe on your book shelf.
​
FINISHED PIECE
​
For complex arrangements a draft sketch will be agreed before commencing the painting. You should take reference from previous work for an indication of painting styles.
IMAGES
​
Ideal images to use as reference are well-lit, sharp and in focus. I can usually work with any image although I will struggle to use blurred photographs or images with a filter on. Professional photography with lots of definition is helpful.
The order process
​
Please enquire with lissie@lissieart.com or fill in the quote form on the website. Full payment is required for commissions and work cannot commence until payment is received and this is something you should consider in your timing for the commission. An invoice will be sent by email along with an agreed completion date. You are able to book a phone or Zoom consultation at www.lissieart.com/book-online to discuss more complex compositions.
​
TIMING
​
Illustrations can be turned around in as little as a few day, depending on availability. I would always recommend getting in touch as soon as possible to arrange a canvas painting. Please consider that we time needs to be taken for our initial discussion of composition, supplies needs to be ordered and then the painting itself can take anywhere between a week to a few weeks. Paintings can be pre-booked in advance with a 10% deposit to ensure availability.
