What about Copyright?
Every photograph taken is automatically protected by Copyright, with the 'taker' classed as the owner. I will therefore ask for permission to use a particular photograph before I begin a drawing, by which you will have to confirm the following. In most instances, the first scenario will apply.
I will not accept photographs taken from websites, books and other unknown or untraceable media and sources.
Further considerations:
Professional prints of your commissioned artwork. Contact me for a quote for this additional service. Professionally produced prints of your original drawing can make wonderful gifts for family members and friends for whom the pet holds a special meaning.
If your artwork is a gift for someone, you can have the artwork sent straight to the recipient and gift wrapped – please ask for a quote for this service.

- OR ... A professional photographer owns the copyright and they have given verbal or written permission for me to use the photograph to create your drawing. In this instance, I may need to verify this permission before I start.
