Commission
Custom portrait
in Folkestone
€1,500from, oil on canvas
Painted in oil on canvas in Fontainebleau, delivered to Folkestone in England in 4–6 working days.
Folkestone is home to about 66 429 people in England, and the portrait is painted at the studio near Paris rather than in a local atelier. The canvas is built in centimetres, varnished, and shipped stretched so it arrives ready to hang.
The painting is cleared as an original artwork on arrival. Frames are best added locally: the canvas is delivered stretched, so a framer in Folkestone can finish it in a style that suits the room.
