FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
REGARDING COMMISSIONS
​​
​
Do you take commissions?
Yes! Feel free to reach out at ramblingsketcher@gmail.com
What is pricing like for commissions?
I price out all projects individually. Email me at ramblingsketcher@gmail.com and I can give you idea of what your project would cost. ​
​
What is the timeline for commissions?
Officially, I have an eight week+ turnaround, anything within that timeline will be subject to a rush fee (on a sliding scale depending on when it needs to be sent out). Since I only take commissions once or twice a year, I'll make the queue and then work through it, so it can take months to get around to a commission.
​
Do you paint portraits?
Yes I do! Both of humans and of pets.
​
This painting I love is already sold, can you make me another one?
I don't do replicas of work I've already done. I WILL do the same subject in a similar painting (I frequently do similar views of subjects, in different sizes and different times of day), so feel free to put in a commission request when the queue opens if you're interested in something similar. If what you are looking for is an exact replica of something I've already painted, the best bet is me putting that painting on my Society6 page so you can buy a print.
​
Do you do event sketching?
Yes I do! I both sketch events themselves and also do portrait sketching at events. Please feel free to email me at ramblingsketcher@gmail.com for pricing.

OTHER FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
​
Where is the best place to buy your book, the Urban Sketching Handbook Understanding Light?
Wherever! It can be purchased wherever books are sold; I'm generally encouraging people to buy from independent bookshops, just because I like supporting indie bookstores, but I'm happy for it to be purchased wherever is best for you!
​
Why do you sketch so small?
I spent over ten years painting scenery for theatre, so since I have spent so much time painting huge scenery, it's nice to work small too! It's also a fun challenge to see how small you can paint something and still have it look realistic.
​
What does one do with art that tiny?
You can still frame it and enjoy it! Tiny art looks great as a part of a gallery wall, or displayed on a shelf or desk. I love framing tiny art with a large mat, so it ends up in a much larger frame.
When do you update your shops?
For my Etsy store, usually every other week or so. If you click the "Shop Updates" box while signing up for my newsletter, you will receive emails with the exact date and time of my shop update listed, as well as every sketch that will be going in the shop. For my Society6, I try to update every month or so. Drop me an email at ramblingsketcher@gmail.com if there is a painting you would like a print of that I haven't put in my Society6 yet!
​
Do you do calligraphy?
Nope! I do sew, knit, embroider and do a whole bunch of other crafty things (I also spent years making theatre props, so my skillset is diverse), but I've never found the time to learn calligraphy.
