How to order a portrait
1. Send request through the Commissions form
Fill in the commissions form at the bottom of this page. If you have questions email me at per@svanstromART.com. Make sure the picture is of a decent size and quality. The photo should be taken in front of the subject as in the picture above. Please also send me more than one photo. It makes it easier for me to understand how the subject looks in real life.
When agreed on size and photos to use, pay the down payment of 50%.
2. Per starts drawing and shows you the progress
I can either send you photos via email or text. You may also follow the progress on Instagram or Facebook (unless you would like to keep it a secret)
I am very keen on making sure you as customer is happy along the way. If you by any chance feel that you are unsatisfied with the progress, please let me know!
3. Per completes the drawing and sends you a final picture
When the work is finished I will send you an email with a picture of the finished artwork. If you are satisfied with it I will make preparations to send the drawing. At this point the remaining 50% will be paid.

Prices
Prices below refers to one graphite pencil drawing based on one reference photo with minor adjustments. The prices may differ for custom designed drawings, for exsample when combining two photos (+20%) or complete custom drawings such as 'Mr Basset' (+20% to 50%). Based on your uploaded reference and requirements I will come back with the total fee.
My prices are based on an hourly rate of approximately 350 kr per hour including taxes. For example an A3- sized portrait of one subject takes me 20-30 hours to complete.

Order a portrait in colour or charcoal?
I do commissions in colour and charcoal as well depending on the request. I am an expert in graphite however with colour and charcoal I am still learning. If you are interested in a non-graphite drawing, please state that in your order.
