Commissions

A portrait of a place

A photograph records a house. A painting remembers it. Nata paints houses, pubs, shops and favourite views by hand in watercolour, from your photographs: the front door, the chimney, the climbing rose, the aerial nobody got round to taking down.

How it works

  1. Tell us about it. Use the form below, or order directly — choose your size and whether you'd like it mounted and framed.
  2. Send your photographs. One clear, front-on daylight photo of the whole house, roof and chimneys included, plus close-ups of anything that matters: the door, a window, the gate. Tell us what to lose — the wheelie bins can go.
  3. Approve a sketch. Watercolour is unforgiving, so you'll receive a pencil sketch to approve before any paint touches the paper.
  4. Painting and delivery. When it's finished and signed you'll get a photograph, then it's framed (if chosen), packed flat with care and posted to you — or to the lucky recipient.

Commissions are made to order, so the 14-day cancellation right does not apply once painting has begun. Not sure your photo will do? Send it first and you'll get an honest answer.
