1. Choose a photograph of the person, pet or place as you would like them drawn (supply more if you would like a combination). It is also helpful to send a few extra pictures of the subject, particularly close-ups, to show colour of eyes and other details etc.

2. Choose a size. Bear in mind that the size you choose does not include a frame and the more subjects you choose, the smaller they will be drawn in order to fit them onto the paper! Full body and oversize portraits or paintings can be requested - contact Kate for a quote.

3. Choose a medium. Kate works in colour pastels and acrylic paints but also uses charcoal, pencil and other mediums.

4. Choose your preferred colour background. You can leave that up to Kate or choose from the colours below. Backgrounds can be added in as extra detail if preferred - contact Kate for a quote.

5. Email or phone through the above details plus any special requirements. Your picture should take from 2 to 8 weeks but may take longer in the run up to Christmas, so book early! Kate will of course endeavour to meet deadlines for birthdays and other special dates.

6. A small print of your finished artwork will either be emailed or posted to you for viewing. If you are not satisfied with the final product there is no obligation to buy. Hopefully you will be very happy, in which case please either pay by pay-pal (see link) or send a cheque made payable to Kate Tugwell. On clearance of the payment your finished piece of art will be posted to you and all photos returned.
