How it works

From choosing your photographs to receiving the finished painting, the process stays personal, clear and straightforward.

1

Send your idea

Tell me who or what you'd like painted, your preferred size and any details that matter. Send as many photographs as you like and I'll help pick the strongest.

2

Agree the composition

I can paint from one photograph or combine people, pets and details from several. We settle the composition, size and timing before any paint is applied.

3

I paint it

Your painting is made by hand in my Brighton studio, with updates along the way.

4

It comes home

Once finished, your painting is carefully packaged for collection or delivery. Framing and delivery are included in your individual quote.

George Edgell in the studio

Hello, I'm George

I'm a UK-based artist who paints the people, pets and places that matter most. I studied BA Fine Art at Camberwell College of Arts, University of the Arts London (UAL), and have exhibited in galleries, hotels and private collections across London and the UK. My commissions focus on capturing the character, expression and small details that make a subject special. From joyful gifts to meaningful memorial pieces, each painting is made to be treasured. When I’m not painting, you’ll usually find me behind a drum kit!

Questions

Can't find your answer? Just ask.

Get in touch
What photographs should I send?

Clear, well-lit photographs, ideally head-on and taken around eye level in natural light. If you're unsure, send a few and I'll help choose.

Can you work from several photographs?

Yes. I can combine people, pets or details from separate photographs, which is ideal when no single photo shows everyone together.

What happens after I enquire?

We'll talk through your idea, photographs, size and any important details. I'll then confirm the composition, timeframe, personal quote and payment schedule before the commission is booked.

How long will it take?

It depends on size, number of subjects and my current commission list. If you need it by a particular date, say so when you enquire and I'll tell you what's possible.

Can I commission a painting as a gift?

Absolutely. If you don't have the photographs ready yet, we can discuss a gift voucher or a contribution towards a future commission.

How are paintings delivered?

Finished paintings are securely packaged. UK and international delivery, plus any framing, can be arranged as part of your quote.

Can I make changes once painting has started?

The composition and key details are agreed beforehand. Substantial changes after work begins may affect the price or timeframe, so it's best to share important preferences at the start.
