Sending Reference Photos

Following your purchase, please then email mairimakes@outlook.com or message me on social media (@MairiMakes) with details and as many high-quality reference photos as you can provide.

To start the portrait, I will provide you with a rough sketch outline of the piece via email or private message to confirm that you are happy before I continue with the painting. That way, I can make any necessary adjustments beforehand.

Please note that as an artist I retain all copyright to my artwork and so commissions may be used as prints at a later date, please inform me if this is an issue prior to your commission being created.
