Miniature Portrait Pricing Plan

I have been debating for a while how to encourage multiple sales of my portraits, not because I'm greedy, but because I think they look great as a "herd" like my degree show.



At £200 a pop, this is a pricey option.

So I have listened, sketched and practiced to develop a series of smaller sized portraits.

The practical information about sizes can be found here.

The Prices.

10cm - £20


15cm - £25


20cm - £30

I have also started to slowly incorperate "real colour" back into my portraits since they look very nice next to a bright coloured portrait of the same animal as seen here.



However these take much longer to complete so the real colour portraits are 50% more expensive. I also only offer real colour on these three sizes.

Real Colour Prices

10cm - £30

15cm - £38

20cm - £45

The Deal

When you buy three (or more) portraits you get 10% off the total.

This include the larger portraits I have been doing previously.

Examples



15cm+15cm+20cm = £80-£8=£72 in total




10cm+10cm(real colour)+20cm = £80-£8=£72 in total


Miniature Oil Paintings

I have decided to develop a slightly new idea for my portraits. I have used much smaller canvases.

10cm



15cm



20cm



These new paintings are really great fun to do, since I can finish a couple everyday, so I get to enjoy lots of colours and lots of different animals. They are also, in most cases, inexpensive enough that you can have a small collection of them without breaking the bank.

I tested the sizes and colours on my own pets, funny looking bunch that they are.



I also experimented with using "real" colour for the first time in a long time to depict my little Maisie's brown nose. I have also finished my hore in teal, a tribute to the very first colourful portrait I ever made.







Photographing these paintings took longer than usual because I had a little helper...
