Even if the dealer are not interested in commisioning and paying you, they might let you put a sample or something in each car sold, for the new owner to comission you (with a discount for multiple vehicles......)

Absolutely stunning work - and I would definitely recommend doing this.

Key I think would be the 'right' dealer. For example, near me is Targa Florio, who have an eclectic but very nice selection of cars at all times - the sort of 'enthusiast only' stock where customers would I think really value your work as an addition to the purchase.

That T.50 with it's reflections is just incredible.

It goes without saying!

I see you're in Surrey. I noticed Mole Valley Cars sell car-related things: https://www.mole-valley.co.uk/stock/used-vehicles-...

You could speak to them.

Thanks so much! Yeah that's the sort of dealership I'm thinking :-)
Glad you like the T50!

Great shout - I've looked at their website in the past, always have some interesting stock. Absolutely worth a visit, really appreciate that smile

It might say it on your website Harry, although I couldn't see it, but do you paint commissions from photos or do you draw the car from eye?

I really should write up on my website about how it works, I'll certainly do that - thank you! smile

So I always reference a photo, sadly I'm not good enough to be able to do it from imagination haha.
Usually I'll work from a photo somebody sends me, or I can find a reference photo of a similar car and draw it how the customer wants it doing.
