For paintings of Houses and Estates:

Francesca will arrange a time visit, taking into account seasons and weather. She will spend a day, sometimes two, making sketches and studying compositional ideas to find the best approaches.

She will then narrow down a few options and will, together with you, choose the perfect composition. Often she will paint one or two smaller paintings- views of some incidental parts of the estate that has significance and charm, that you may wish to include. 

For a smaller study in watercolour of a house or flat, Francesca will visit the house to take photos. She can also work from photos you provide. 

For British and African landscapes:

Francesca can visit a particular view to take photos and make preparatory sketches. The painting can be made to the size you would like, and if you send photos of the wall or room in which you are keen to hang the painting, she can help advise on the best size,  placement and framing. 

She can also on occasion work from photos you provide, depending on the quality of the images and the size of the painting needed.

Once a composition is agreed with you, she will complete the painting in her studio. 

For conversational pieces the same process applies, and Francesca will also take photos of any people/animals that will be included in the piece.

Francesca will arrange a date to visit you in your home, and takes lots of photos of the sitter(s). It is important that she takes the photos herself, and has time to meet you and the sitter, get a sense of their personality, and your intentions for the portrait. Doing this in person really helps ensure a successful outcome. She then goes away and narrows down the photos to a few options for you to choose from, giving advice on each option, and agreeing the final look with you, so that you know what you will be getting.

Once completed you will be invited to view the portrait in her studio, or she can arrange for delivery to your home.

Francesca can be commissioned to create illustrations for weddings, estate maps, and all sorts of bespoke work. Please just contact her to discuss your idea further.

Francesca can create bespoke artworks, and provide exclusive prints at wholesale prices. Packages can be arranged to provide beautiful and exclusive work across hotels, or developed as luxury gifts for special clients. For example, 100 limited edition prints can be developed  from a bespoke original piece,  of a ski resort, or chalet, and a print given as a gift to each of your top 100 clients. A personalised painting can also be turned into a Christmas card, and sent to your mailing list.
