Commission me

Thank you so much for the pictures. They are perfect!
And thank you for taking so much trouble to get the framing right. The works are lovely, just what I hoped.

Happy customer January 2024

Oil painting by Nic Cowper of kids on a beach
A large oil commissioned in 2005. We photographed the children on the beach in separate shots then prepared drawings to work out who fits where. Final painting size approx 1m x 700.

Art for you, for life.

I regularly undertake commissions and have many happy customers.

  • Houses,
  • boats,
  • cars,
  • people,
  • pets,
  • abstract
  • landscape.

Commissions take a lot of planning.

We will have to meet and discuss things like how large the piece needs to be, what situation and impact required, and materials to be used in the final piece.

Then we need to talk about the subject: person, place, object etc.

From these discussions I can start to prepare ideas and thoughts. I will give you a price for the work.

PRICE GUIDE: Watercolour is the most cost effective medium. So for this reason i have a single charge for watercolour commissions of £350.00. It’s been the same for years:)

The most time consuming and therefore expensive medium is oils. But the results are fantastic and timeless.

Other options include Ipad paintings but these entail not just the artistic work, but also the output. Usually printed onto hard sunstrate like Dibond, a significant cost is added. Of course these also look fab, and best of all the final piece can be a miniature or the side of a building, and everything in between.

So essential to meet, discuss, plan.


Digital ipad commissions are unusual and flexible in output, printable on any material you like from canvas to wallpaper.

Could you really ask for anything more fabulous than your own oil painting?

There are so many options. Get in touch if you would like to discuss what can be achieved and how long it might take.
