if you are collecting the painting directly from my studio, i can work in any size and framed as required - again, please discuss this with me

supply of original reference material:

i am happy to work from your photographs - for pet portraits I suggest a variety of views including some close up details and a good pose that  I can use as a working guide for the finished piece. I am also happy to give you regular updates on the progress of your piece if required

artbear pricing

a brief guide to prices of original artbear art

as a guide the prices of my art reflect the proportionate size/compexity of the piece and the medium (oil, acrylic or watercolour)

for example, my work ranges in size from tiny canvasses on their little easels, to pieces measuring 1.20m or so in width, some have been created with a complex process of layering etc while some have reached their conclusion easier

however i do believe my prices are very competative and i give good customer service, and my buyers have always been most appreciative of their puchase!

The table below may shed some light on what to expect to pay for an original artbear painting (please note THIS IS A GUIDE ONLY and based on a square oil on canvas - actual price will be the result of discussion and agreement by both parties)
