How to Buy Questions

Can you send painting anywhere in the world?

Yes. If there is a postal service I can send your portrait to you.

What is the size and price for a portrait?

The size depends on your brief and prices range from AUD$200 - $600 plus postage outside Australia.

Pricing includes: briefing process, all materials, and postage within Australia (postage costs outside Australia are agreed in advance). The price is quoted in Australian dollars.

What materials are used?

I paint on board and canvas , using oil paint.

How long does it take to get the portrait?

Three to four weeks from the time of the briefing. This allows for the oil paint to dry completely before it is posted to you.

How do I organise a portrait?

Start by emailing me at jilldanks@icloud.com. If you are comfortable providing your phone number I will ring you.

How does the image get chosen?

Email me lots photos, (different angles and perspectives) and I will crop one or two images that will work well as a portrait, and email them back to you for sign off.

How do I pay?

I invoice in advance to cover cost of materials. Once your payment has been received I start painting.

How do I see the final portrait?

Once the painting is almost finished I email the painted image to you. If you are happy with it, I finish it. When the paint is dry I post the painting to you or to the person you are gifting the painting to. 

What if I don’t like the painting?

If you are not happy with the emailed image of the final painting I will keep the painting and refund your payment.
