What's involved in commissioning an original painting?

Robert Lloyd has developed a commissioning process that has proved to be extremely popular with clients. His first action is to produce an initial layout sketch from photographs or builder’s plans for the client’s approval.

Then, when the painting is completed, the client is invited to view it on site or to receive a full colour proof so that any required changes can be made. Finally, the finished painting is delivered to the client either unframed or framed to museum standard in solid wood or antique gilt.
