Subjects Covered

Memory Lane Art will tackle any subject if you provide a suitable photograph, or we can obtain one on your behalf, subject to copyright restrictions. However, artists tend to be more comfortable with subject matter in which they have a direct interest and affinity towards.

The father is involved technically both with all types of transport subjects and street scenes whilst the daughter has a particular talent for portraits of pets and people.

Whereas, the above subjects are most welcome, any subject can be considered, and we will also contact you to gain any personal reminiscences of the subject matter to ensure the accuracy which you need.

 

Size

Paintings can be completed to any size which you require but we recommend that you confine the choice to readily available canvas sizes to avoid excessive cost. For non-standard sizes there would also be additional non-refundable deposits. We can guide as to the sizes available at the time and they are available in both square and oblong formats.

 

Mediums

Memory Lane artists can work in a variety of mediums and styles for you to choose from. Samples of works in the different mediums are shown in the gallery.

 

Oils or Acrylics – normally done on either stretched canvas or canvas boards depending upon size.

Within this medium we can offer monotone paintings which can be very atmospheric as opposed to full colour works.

We can also use pallet knives rather than brushes to give a very textured painting which is perfect for some subjects.

 

Water Colour – is not a preferred medium but is available, on quality water colour paper, should you request for a particular effect.

 

Pen and Ink – completed on good quality paper. Size is much more flexible in this medium as we are able to vary the paper size.

 

Pencil Drawing – on paper sizes up to A2. Work will be on good quality sketching paper.

​

Framing

Memory Lane Art do not frame any of the works they carry out. Framing can be expensive, and many customers will prefer to choose the framing which they consider best suits the finished work, the surroundings of where the painting will be exhibited and their budget. Normally we would not offer any service for framing but upon request we can provide a quotation for the same.
