Get in touch with Janet to discuss your ideas to commission an original watercolour or oil painting.

Often a painting is commissioned for a special moment, a wedding , a birthday or just an enhancement of an amazing day spent in the mountains.

Oil Painting commission – bear in mind oils taking longer to dry than most realise. The paint may be touch dry from 2 to 12 days , but only really dries fully after 6 months from when the last brushstrokes are applied. The layers dry at different rates and to ensure the painting appears the same years later we must wait!

A small oil commission for example 30 x 40 cm ( 12 x 16 inches ) could be £400 to £500 as a starting point.

Watercolour commission –  can be completed fairly quickly depending on the detail required, within a few week. I often work on D’Arches cold press paper 55 x 75 cm (21 x 29 inches) and the cost would be around £750.

Testimonials

St Martin Powder Day captures my memories of a perfect bluebird day in March 2019 when a friend and I were able to make fresh tracks in the wide off-piste area above St Martin in the Three Valleys. The image emerged over a number of months of dialogue during which Janet shared several sketches with me to ensure she understood and had captured the point of view that I wanted to achieve. I am delighted with the final result that is particularly powerful at the moment as I look forward to an eventual return to the Alps.

“What a lovely experience it’s been to watch this painting come to life! We appreciated being a part of the process and eagerly anticipated each stage.  Your updates were prompt, filled with high quality graphics and your thoughtful narratives demystified the process. The final product was stunning – those blues are so vivid! We notice a new detail at every viewing and the painting will have a treasured place in our home.  Thank you for sharing your time and talent with us and for making an incredible adventure in the Alps come alive for us.”

” I felt that, in common with other watercolours of yours, this one seems to capture a feeling I recognise, a kind of anticipation and excitement. It made me smile – what more can one ask?”
