How long does a portrait take?

Typically 2–6 weeks from the day you choose your artist. Digital portraits can be turned around in a few days; detailed oil paintings on canvas usually need longer. If you need it by a specific date (birthday, Christmas, anniversary), tell the artist when you brief them — most can work to a deadline.

What photo should I send my artist?

The best reference photos are: Well-lit (natural daylight is ideal — avoid harsh flash), Clear and in focus, not blurry or heavily filtered, Taken at the subject's eye level, not from above or below, Showing the personality you want captured (favourite expression, classic pose). Artists can often work with multiple photos — you can send 3-4 and let them pick the best elements from each.

Can I give a portrait as a gift?

Yes — this is one of our most popular uses. Two options: Commission the portrait yourself and gift the finished piece. Allow 3-6 weeks production time plus shipping. Buy a Book An Artist gift voucher and let the recipient choose their own artist and style. Great when you're not sure what they'd want, or when time is tight. Gift vouchers are delivered by email instantly and never expire.

Do artists ship internationally?

Most do. Book An Artist operates across 18 countries and many artists ship worldwide. For physical portraits (oil, watercolour, charcoal on canvas or paper), shipping costs and timelines vary by artist and destination — ask them directly before committing. Digital portraits are delivered as high-resolution files, so location doesn't matter.

Can I request changes during the portrait?

Yes. Most artists share progress photos at key stages (typically after the initial sketch and again before final details) so you can request adjustments while there's still time to change things. The exact revision process varies by artist — agree it up front when you brief them, so expectations match on both sides.
