I am happy to start working on a piece with a deposit and keep it nice n’ safe & ready to ship until you are able to pay the balance, however I will not ship until the full amount is paid.

Yes, Credit Card payments can be arranged through PayFast's secure payment portal or YOKO secure payment portal. Please request a link when making your booking. Card Payments require FULL payment due to the high service charges. A bank transfer (EFT) is also accepted

I will give you an estimate at the time of ordering. It can be anything from a few days to weeks depending on my workload. Please let me know if there is any kind of rush so that we can find a solution that works for both of us. There may be an ‘overtime’ fee for a short deadline.

I will ship the painting to you, well protected, with a reliable courier company. You are also welcome to collect the painting from me if you or someone you know is in Durban. Shipping depends on size and location. I will always try my best to get you the lowest shipping rate I can, with a trusted courier.

If there is any loss or damage in transit I will redo your painting as a priority and ship it to you post-haste.

No I do not do any framing. You will need to  arrange this

Yes, I do paint from photographs.
Yes, we can combine multiple photographs into a painting IF PRACTICALLY POSSIBLE. You are welcome to email me the photographs together with an explanation of what you have in mind.
You can read more below about the quality and type of photographs required:

I need good quality photographs to work from. Preferably high resolution that will enable me to 'zoom in' to see finer detail. Try to obtain the clearest images you can. I can only paint the detail that I can see, so the more detail that I can see, the more detail will be in your portrait!
I know it is not always possible, especially if the subject is deceased - in that case, please email me whatever you have.
Please note that compiling a painting from multiple photos or working from poor-quality photos might incur an additional cost.
If photographs need to be combined in a painting, kindly send me individual photos where everyone is in the same pose e.g. either all standing or sitting, photograph from the same height and angle. Please provide me with photos where I can see the actual height and size differences between subjects.

Yes,you do.
Once I have received your deposit and signed the commission agreement, you will be put on my commission list. When you reach the top of the commission list I will start by sketching out your painting/drawing and send you a photo for approval. Once approved, I will start painting and notify you upon completion with a photo of the completed work.
I do NOT send progress photos to clients during the drawing and painting process: all artworks go through "ugly stages" where it would not make sense to anybody except the artist. Therefore, I do not send progress photos, I prefer to 'WOW" a client with the completed artwork. I work meticulously to ensure accuracy; therefore only one (1) MINOR change is allowable with no major redraws/ repaints (subject to the Artist's discretion). The Artist however reserves the right to deny any changes if not practically possible to apply, if it will change the aesthetics of the painting, will negatively impact the style of the Artist, etc. Any additional changes or bigger changes will be charged separately and according to the complexity. Changes will be quoted accordingly. Any additional changes requested (apart from the above-mentioned one (1) MINOR change) will extend the lead time of the artwork if the artist agrees to the changes

No prints or copies shall be made, or profit gained in any way, from the finished artwork by the Client (you), without the express written permission of the artist (Greg Stock). The artist retains the right to use the image for advertising artistic services, through printed adverts (e.g. flyers, portfolio books) and digital media or social media (e.g. Facebook, lnstagram, Website, etc.) The Client is not permitted to make any changes to the original artwork, e.g. drawing or painting on the artwork. Digital artwork can be used for personal use only and not for reselling purposes. When posting artwork on Social Media, the Client is obligated to tag or mention the Artist.
