Commission a Portrait
Stella Stockbridge is an artist based in Buckinghamshire, specialising in oil paintings that balance realism with painterly expression.
She welcomes commissions for bespoke portraits of people and pets, offering clients a chance to preserve personal stories in paint.
Process
I work from photographs, which can be supplied by the client or captured in a photography session with me (additional cost).
My portraits are created with oil paint on wood panel, offering a rich depth of tone and an opportunity to create expressive brushstrokes. While my style is looser than traditional oil paintings, I strive to capture the likeness of the subject.
The timeline for these bespoke portraits varies but usually take between 4-6 weeks. Rush projects are also accepted for an additional charge, but please note that oil paint typically takes 1-2 weeks to fully cure.
12” x 16” single-subject, colour portrait with complex background.
Pricing
12” x 16” double-subject, greyscale with simple background.
Pricing is based on:
The size of the artwork
Whether the painting will be in colour or greyscale
The complexity of the background
The number of subjects
Black, white, or natural wood framing is included in the price but can be removed or changed according to your preferences.
These are standard sizes, so if you would like:
A different size
A different ratio (rectangular or square)
A more complex background
5+ subjects
I can then give you a more personalised quote. Please specify this in the ‘further details’ section.
