Commissions are handled through a step-by-step process that begins with initial sketches to establish composition. Gregory then produces a full-size drawing before moving on to the final painting in oils. He provides regular progress updates to ensure the client is happy at every stage. Once completed, the painting is varnished, carefully packed and delivered. Delivery within the UK is included in the price. Commission costs vary depending on canvas size and the type of vessel, whether historical or contemporary, but there are no additional charges for revisions or consultation.
