To order a Wildlife drawing or painting 

ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW TO ORDER FROM THE ARTIST 

You want to have an artwork that represents your favorite wild animal but you don't have any photographs. That's not a problem. I have a large photo library that allows me to make a lot of animals: felines, birds from our gardens, insects etc.
And if I don't have in stock what you want, I can do some research with specialized animal photographers, contact them to know if I can use one of their photographs as a reference. If the photographer accepts, I make a contract of transfer of right to the image to frame his remuneration and the use of his photography. I do not use photographs taken on the net without the agreement of the photographer(s). Some artists do it. I do not. It is a question of respect for the work of others. Indeed, it's never nice to see your work used without permission.
You may also have spotted a photograph on the internet that you like. In this case, it's the same thing. I make researches to know its author and I take care of the rights to the image.

As with a pet, composition is paramount in the making of an artwork. Almost anything is possible. It can be a tight portrait, a wider portrait, the animal in its environment, etc. on a square, horizontal or vertical format, from miniature to XXL. I will make you several proposals so that you can make your choice.

The rates for the realization of a wild animal are higher than for pets. There are several reasons for this:
- As you have seen in the previous answers, there is the search for the reference photograph and the possible payment of a photographer, but also the research of compositions.
- Another reason is that I am represented by galleries in the United States and in France and that my rates (excluding pets) must be aligned with gallery prices. I have to keep my prices consistent with my clients and collectors who have already purchased some of my artwork at a certain price. That's what makes the price of an artist outside auction houses
