How to hire a portrait artist in Bristol
Rob starts every commission with a conversation, not a form. He’ll help you choose the right medium and size, then get to work from photographs or an arranged sitting.
- A relaxed consultation by phone, video call or email, wherever you are in Bristol
- A choice of oils, acrylics or chalk pastels
- Progress updates while your portrait is painted
- Secure, insured delivery straight to your door
Many clients commission a portrait to mark a birthday, wedding or anniversary, or as a lasting tribute to someone they love. Expect several weeks from consultation to finished canvas, with photo updates throughout and guidance on sizing and framing so the piece suits its new home.
Rob’s work draws on the Pre-Raphaelite tradition of honest, luminous realism – a style that sits comfortably alongside the collections at the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery.
