My bespoke boat illustrations are drawn entirely from scratch on my iPad Pro with an Apple Pencil and finished off with 2 lines of text of your choice below the sketch.
 
They make a perfect gift for family and friends, or why not treat your own walls!
 
Sizes Available
A4 (210 x 297mm)  - Ideal if the boat isn't overly long, or if you'd like to arrange your own framing afterwards. 
40cm x 20cm (Ideal for longer narrowboats, showing more detail)
 
Professional framing available at an additional cost, see the listing details. Frames are wooden, in either black or brown, with a 50mm coloured mount to match the illustration, finished off with 2mm float glass. If you choose to frame the artwork we'll discuss colours and styles throughout the process. The finished product is then made with fuxtures ready to hang. 
 
The Process
Firstly if this is a Gift, please let me know when you need it by as I would hate to disappoint. My turnaround time increases towards Christmas.
You can either buy directly through this website, or preferably pay a deposit of £50 with the balance due on completion. Once purchased, I'll need you to send me some up to date photos of your boat. Ideally, good quality photos and, and the more the merrier. Especially think of detail such a signwriting, stern and bow, windows, cans, tiller pins etc.
The illustration itself takes 3-4 weeks (longer at Christmas). I will show you my progress along the way, and love to hear your suggestions. Your print will come with 2 lines of text of your choice, from a wide variety of fonts. People often include the boat name, year of build, builder, dimensions etc.
You will receive a final proof to your email before anything goes to print.
Once you've accepted the proof, it will be printed on Fine Art paper in my riverside studio on the Weaver Navigation.
If you've opted for a print alone, you are welcome to collect or this will be posted tracked delivery in a card backed envelope.
Many customers choose to have their artwork framed as well, I use a local framer (Framing Cheshire) and all frames are either black or dark wood, with a 50mm coloured mount to match the illustration. Framing takes approx 4-5 weeks.
Once complete your final payment is due. Postage is an additional cost and depends on the frame, location etc. You are very welcome to collect from Northwich too if needed.
