Has anyone commissioned a marine artist to create a painting of their pride and joy? Links to examples of the artists work would be much appreciated plus any indication of likely costs. Thanks.
I can recommend Catherine Neville.
She is recently graduated with first class fine art degree and is just starting out.
She hasn't got a web site yet, but I have seen her painting of others boats and have asked her to paint my pride and joy which she is currently doing.
As she is just starting out commercially her prices are very reasonable, but obviously vary with size and materials and complexity.
Oils are her preferred medium, but she also works in watercolour and acryllic.
I've PM'd you her mobile number.
I'd always recommend myself, but then I'm horribly biased. Ignore the price guides, its an old site, just tell me what you are after and we can haggle.
Partly depends what you want, and I wouldn't recommend her if you're looking for a semi photographic representation of your boat, but Moira Downie is good.
She's a friend of mine, but no commercial connection.
