Why golfers?

My inspiration to paint golfers in action started with painting a birthday gift for a close friend, an excellent golfer. She loved her present and wasn’t shy about shouting about it from the rooftops (social media). From that point inquiries and commissions started coming in, gradually increasing in demand. Artistically speaking, I love the challenge of capturing a figure in movement and finding ways to convey the energy of a golf swing.

If you’re interested in having your own swing captured in a customised painting, the following will answer some of your questions.

Approach: In my golfer paintings, I focus on the energy and movement of the figure. I usually work from video footage of the golfer practising the swing…I study the movement and choose an interesting moment and composition. The footage should be of good quality, ideally from a sunny/bright day. 

Style and Colour: What style appeals to you? Are there any particular paintings of mine you find compelling? I typically work with a fresh but limited colour palette or in monochrome. Do you have any particular colour you’d like to see? Warm or cold palette, subtle or saturated colours? It’s also okay if you don’t have any specific preferences, I can make suggestions.

Size: Movement pieces in watercolour work well on sizes 28 x 38 cm or larger. The examples shown below are 40 x 50 cm. What size and format suits you (portrait, landscape or square)?

Timing: Allow 7-10 days for the painting and 3 days for delivery in the UK. The process can be expedited, should there be a need.

Framing: and/or mounting is available upon request at additional cost. I’m happy to suggest framing options that would suit the piece and places where to source them. 

Authentication: The works come signed on the front and with a Certificate of Authenticity attached to the back.

 

So much for the bones but as for the details each commission is individual to the personal preferences of a client.
