At SBL Studios, commissioning a portrait is made easy. Sarah prefers to work from life, capturing her clients in their natural surroundings, either in their home or outdoors. Each live sitting session can last up to 90 minutes. After determining the size and layout, Sarah will create an initial sketch for the client’s approval before starting on the final composition. Located in North London, she is willing to travel for her clients and can also work from high-quality photos if the subject is unavailable. She also creates commissioned portraits of homes and landmarks for those who want to keep a memory of their past. The starting price for oil paintings is £500, with a 50% deposit required upfront and the remaining 50% paid upon delivery. A portrait created by SBL Studios is a timeless treasure that will be cherished for generations. Our goal is to make the commissioning process an enjoyable experience.
