Faqs
check out the answers to the questions I get asked the most
1) Do you only do single portraits? - No I draw couples and groups as well.
2) How long does it take you to draw my guests' portraits? - I take approx 5-7 minutes to draw singles, 10-15 minutes for couples and 15-20 minutes for a family group. I average about 12-13 guests per hour, depending on the complexity of their fabulous clothes.
3) What do you use to draw the portraits? - I use professional quality ink pens and Copic markers on Seawhite Bristol Board paper. Copics are used in the fashion illustration world, are fade resistant and fast to use.
​
4) Do you travel outside of Cumbria? - Yes I can travel anywhere in the UK but there could be travel and possibly accommodation fees added. Any accommodation fees would need to be paid at the same time as the deposit. Please note that my Beautiful Basic package is only available for Cumbria and Gretna.
5) How much deposit do I need to pay? - I ask for a 20% deposit for all of my packages. This secures your date. The remaining amount is due 4 weeks before your wedding day. I'll email you with the final invoice before the four weeks.
6) When you draw us back in your studio, can you include our pets? - Absolutely! Just send me some photos of your precious pets and I can include them for free.
​
7) Can I add more portraits to my package? - Yes! If you have more guests but not enough to 'bump' you up to the next package, you can always buy individual portraits. They cost an extra £5.00 each but be aware that I probably won't be able to finish them on the day. I will complete them back in my studio and send them out to you with your studio portrait.
I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, please get in touch and I will do my very best to help.
