PORTRAIT ARTIST

WELCOME TO SHAYNE WISE ART - UK PORTRAIT ARTIST

I'm a portrait artist based in Essex, UK, creating beautiful bespoke, hand-drawn, realistic portraiture in graphite pencil. I work from photographs supplied by you to provide custom art pieces completely to your specification. I feel lucky to have completed commissioned artwork for clients not only from the UK, but worldwide too.

THE PROCESS IN CREATING YOUR PORTRAIT

Your portrait can be taken from a single photograph, or multiple photographs if needed, to help bring your ideas to life.

I love creating those silky smooth skin blends, realistic waves of hair, and detailed characteristics of the skin, which all help to produce a photo like finish to your commission. To achieve this look, it not only requires expert technical ability, but also a deep understanding of materials, patience, and time. I spend hours upon hours delicately layering, smoothing, and blending... I apply soft tonal values and lift minuscule imperfections, over and over, until I achieve a smooth, balanced, realistic finish. This process can take many days to complete and requires great attention to detail. If this finish excites you too, come say hi :)

I can't wait to hear your ideas so please do get in touch.

Client Feedback

"I cannot recommend Shayne enough as a portrait artist. Shayne was professional and prompt from the outset, really caring and attentive to what I wanted to achieve. Fully reassured me throughout the process with lots of discussion and a draft portrait, not only that, the turnaround time was amazing, the portrait was beautifully packaged and his service as a whole was brilliant. The portrait itself is exactly what I wanted, Shayne is so talented. The portrait will be displayed in our home as a very valued piece. Put your trust in Shayne and you will not be disappointed! Thank you Shayne!"

Frankie M. London

Shayne is an amazing artist and so easy to work with. Had a portrait done of myself and hubby collated from two different photos and you would never know! The portrait looks better than the photos... Now I'm back a second time for a very special commission and I asked for it at such short notice for Christmas, but Shayne being such an amazing person is making it happen. I'm very grateful and couldn't recommend Shayne highly enough 😊

Lisa B. Essex

Beyond impressed with my A2 and A4 commission pieces from Shayne. It was only two weeks between me messaging Shayne, telling him what I was after and the pieces being ready to collect. He kept me updated through-out with photos of his progress and telling me what he was going to do next. The pieces themselves are phenomenal, I've never seen drawings look so realistic. He even packaged them in a beautiful presentation, ready to be gifted. They really are wonderful. Shayne is fantastic at what he does and I couldn't recommend him enough. Thank you, Shayne xx

"I'm over the moon with my drawing from Shayne. My mum absolutely loves it. He created several mock-ups for me so I could see some different layouts and choose my favourite, and was very responsive if I had a question. All in all a fantastic service. I will definitely use him again"

WEDDING PORTRAIT

One of the reasons I get excited about this type of portrait is that so often, the images that surround this occasion are full of love, joy, and happiness, and so provide so much expression that it's actually quite tangible.

ORDERING PROCESS

Please first make contact with me to discuss your ideas. At this point, I'll be able to take a look at your photos and advise on image quality and choosing the right reference photo. Along with image quality we'll also be able to discuss layout, background, and any other concerns that you have. Once we agree on the best way forward and you're 100% happy with your design, it will possible for you to purchase your artwork in the prices section on this website.

During the following week, I will design a mock up for you. This will provide you with a visual representation of what your finished portrait will look like. Once you confirm that the composition/layout matches your ideas, and you are happy to proceed, I will prepare to start work.

It normally takes between 2/3 weeks for your art to arrive, however this is dependant on work load at the time. I will be able to give you a more realistic delivery date once I receive your enquiry. I will also keep you updated during the whole process with work in progress shots.
