Talk to Katherine directly.
Questions about a commission, a gift deadline, or whether your photos will work. Katherine replies personally, usually within two working days.
For a quote, the commission form is quickest because it lets you attach photos.
My photos aren’t very good. Can you still paint my dog?
Usually, yes. Send everything you have. Katherine will look at them before quoting and tell you honestly what she can do. Chichi’s portrait in the gallery was painted from a photo after she had died.
Can you paint a dog who has passed away?
Yes. Chichi and Romeo in the gallery were both memorial commissions. Katherine is used to working gently with families at a hard time, and there is no rush on your side.
How long does it take?
Most portraits take six to eight weeks, because each oil layer must dry before the next. Your exact date is confirmed when you book. If you have a deadline, tell us on the form.
What if I’m not happy with it?
You approve the sketch before painting begins, and you see a photo of the finished portrait before paying the balance. Katherine will make reasonable adjustments until the likeness feels right.
