Commissions

Whether for formal or informal, single, family or groups, oil, pastel or charcoal, Valeriy produces portraits of character. The examples of his commissioned portraits shown on this website illustrate the quality and range of his work.

Every sitter is special and unique. Portraits reflect this through the relationship developed during the painting process and the skills and experience that Valeriy brings.

Some notable sitters include:

The 7th Earl of Carnarvon
Lord Porchester
Mr Richard Compton
Mrs Lucinda Compton
Lord Clifford of Chudleigh
Mrs C W Brocklebank

It takes 2-10 sittings depending on number of figure and size of the portrait. Valeriy can travel to the client, including abroad, or can paint in his studio. He normally paints from life but can exceptionally use photographs if it is absolutely necessary.
