Robert Becket Portrait Artist

Procedure

VENUE I like to capture people in their own surroundings
CHILDREN Paintings or drawings of children are nearly all done from photographs, which I take at a time when they are looking healthy (at the end of the summer). The execution of the portrait and the delivery will be anything up to a year later. I will try to fit the commission in with a specific date if preferred.
ADULTS I like to paint these from life wherever possible or practical. As these can be up to 10 sessions for a full-length portrait, these can be spread over some months. For a full length portrait, my waiting list is 1 year to 18 months.
SCULPTURES These are all carried out from life, usually in six sittings over a period of a few weeks.
My waiting list for these is 1 year to 18 months.
SPECIALISATION I specialise in group portraits, often with pets, bronze busts, and pastel portraits of children.
FRAMING I can offer advice on framing, but deliver unframed.
TRAVEL I will travel anywhere and regularly go to the USA and Far East.
