Commission an original, traditional and quirky Portrait in oils, acrylics or digital sketches
Are you are looking for something a little different from the usual portraits, or pet portraits?
You’ve come to the right place!
You can commission a slightly quirky portrait painted in oils and acrylics as well as sketches that will capture the special qualities of the sitter or of your pet.
The Wyllie Fox can magically transform your photographs and find a suitable painting method, in the style of old masters such as Rembrandt, Goya, Impressionist Artists, Manet, Van Gogh ….
Using traditional techniques in oils or acrylic paint the Wyllie Fox will portray the personality of your human pet. You will have an original pet portrait of your best friend to take pride of place in your home.
If you would prefer a person or pet portrait sketch, do view the examples above. These sketches are hand drawn using an IPad and pencil with Digital Drawing software. They will be printed using Bockingford paper and will include a cream coloured mount. You can order a sketch of your pet from as little as £75.
Do you need the painting to fit in with your interior style or colour scheme? Just let us know and send in a photo of the intended wall space when you receive the commissioning form.
Gift certificates can also be purchased and can be requested by filling in the form below. These make great presents for commissioning a portrait of a family member, a portrait of your partner, your children, grandchildren friends or even colleagues for a special occasion.

Commissioning a Pet or Human Portrait in Oils or Acrylics FAQ’s
What do you need from me?
Initially, just fill in the form below to discuss your requirements. You will then receive a commissioning request form by email.
You can then send your Human / Pet’s Photographs and tell us more about your about their personality, history and anything you feel is relevant to the painting, such as size, paint medium or painting surface.
Commissioning a portrait is a two way process. It would be helpful if you can describe some of the things he or she likes to do, wear or favourite objects or environment. One or two photographs will be required. The backgrounds aren’t as important as seeing the person or pet clearly and in detail. A photo looking straight at the camera will usually work best. Your photographs and the description you give will inspire the Wyllie Fox. She will then get to work on how best to portray their.
Will I be kept updated with the progress?
Yes. You will receive an initial rough sketch sent by email which will also show the setting and background. You may also be shown reference photographs to illustrate the style of painting. If you’re happy to proceed you will be asked to confirm this before the portrait painting is started.
You will receive regular updates on the painting’s progression and you will have opportunities to provide feedback.
Portrait Estimates:
Oil or Acrylic on Canvas:
An A3 sized painting on canvas with one person / pet – £495
An A2 sized painting on a custom made panel or on canvas – £645
Portrait Sketches
A mounted A4 sized print of a digital drawing – starting from £75.
Should you require a framed print, you can request a quote for this when you send back a commissioning form.
Other sizes are available and can be requested.
These estimates are for one pet or one person. Actual quotes will be given for your commission depending on the complexity and size.
Payment schedule
For oil or acrylic paintings an initial payment of £30 will be required to cover the initial rough sketch for the final painting and also for research time. This initial payment will be refunded from the final fee should you agree to go ahead with the commission. The fee will be discussed with you (see estimates above), and will be based on the complexity and size of the artwork.
On agreeing the rough sketch, proposal and fees, a 50% deposit of the total amount (including delivery charges) is required before the portrait is started.
On completion, the remaining balance will be due. Your painting will be delivered when the final payment is received.
Will I own the Copyright of the portrait?
No. The Artist Francesca Wyllie (also known as The Wyllie Fox) reserves all rights. You should not reproduce the original painting as this will breach the Artists’ copyright. If you wish to purchase the copyright this must me discussed and will incur an additional fee.
Mainland Postage to UK:
Oil or acrylic Paintings – £15 signed for (insured) courier.
Mounted Sketches – £8.99 signed first class post.
Posting quotes will be given for areas outside of Mainland UK
How long will my portrait take?
Your painting will normally take between 1 – 3 weeks to complete. However, the deadline will be agreed with you before the commission is started.
Please also bear in mind that an original portrait which has been painted in oils can take a while to dry so should be handled carefully and will normally be sent one week after completion.
If you would prefer a painting in acrylics please specify this as this can be posted almost immediately.

LaPD Solutions is passionate about the skills required to transfer Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU) to others.
We believe that trainers should not lecture their learners but instead use our tools to engage, interest, and even challenge them, making them inquisitive about the learning and able to reason out the new SKU to keep their brains engaged.
Our three to five-day course compares the lecture-based delivery that most trainers use to deliver their training to our Engagement Methodology and explains why it is significantly better for learning and retention.
We use the same session structure in our methodology to deliver these courses. Our CET structure is not rigid but rather adaptable to the dynamic situations trainers often find themselves in, especially when time is tight. This flexibility empowers trainers to deliver effective training regardless of the circumstances.
We discuss why question techniques are an incredibly powerful tool in the art of engaging our learners, and we look at when we should use specific techniques and even when we should not. We give time to practice this key skill, but please note that the three-day course has limited time for this crucial practice. The three-day version of this course is designed exclusively for experienced trainers, recognising their expertise and the experience they have acquired. Including inexperienced trainers is unfair to them or others on their course.
A comprehensive course manual (100+ pages) is supplied and used throughout the course to ensure attendees can find their way around and ask questions as they wish.




LENGTH - Two, three or five days, depending on experience and roles. But please contact us to discuss your specific needs so we can offer our advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who? - ANYONE involved in transferring Skills, Knowledge and Understanding (SKU)
People who are brand new into training - 5 days.
People who will be taking up a training role soon - 5 days.
Experienced trainers and facilitators (ideally two years) who want to adapt their current delivery style to our interactive and engagement methodology - 3 days.
People whose primary role is not training but will deliver training occasionally - 2 days.
Why? If you want your trainers to deliver engaging training that helps their attendees learn and retain new skills, knowledge, and understanding (SKU), then ensure they have been given the proper training to do just that.
Show your clients that you have invested in your trainers by ensuring they are all certified to deliver training and that their delivery is monitored and assessed to maintain those standards.
If you expect high standards of training in your organisation and given to your clients, then ensure you have the tools to do that and the ability for your senior trainers to assess their peers to ensure the consistency of quality, the monitoring of standards and the continuous development of all your trainers and facilitators.
Training Course Content
What is a Sat-Nav trainer, and why must we avoid this at all costs?
We discuss our recommended session structure and why it is designed that way.
We examine different question techniques and discuss what each is good for or why it should be avoided.
We look at our Task Based Objectives (TBOs) and discuss various reasons why they should be adopted.
We touch on learning styles to see what you think of each and how we can cater to them.
We take a good look at our SAS feedback model and why we think it must be facilitated and not given.
We help you plan and prepare for your final session for the last day using our Script Writing Guide.
We discuss why Emotional Intelligence is a must-have in your trainer's toolbox.
Attendees deliver their final mini sessions. We record them (HD). We offer one-on-one feedback. We chat as a group.
Course delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.
The three-day course is split into two parts. The first two days are together, then the third day a week (or more) later. This gives attendees time to plan, prepare and practice before delivering their final recorded sessions.
The five-day course is not required to be split as practice time is built into the 4th day. However, if it suits organisations better, we can accommodate a split between the fourth and fifth days.

Craft4Smiles C.I.C. 

A standalone 10-week quilling course - 2 hours per week online with daytime and evening options - that will introduce you to the materials, tools, and techniques used in quilling and to Craft4Smiles C.I.C and our tutors.   At the end of each session you will have a lovely quilled item to show family and friends or to display on your shelf!  All materials and equipment needed will be supplied and are yours to keep. This course is helpful for those for whom English is not their native tongue as there is a lot of repetition of basic terms including numbers, colours and directions.

Introduction to Phlebotomy Course (GPT003VC) - 1 DAY Virtual Classroom

Master plant tinctures are sacred, natural extracts derived from powerful Amazonian plants, each carrying unique healing properties. 
Used traditionally in shamanic practices, these tinctures provide a gentle, yet profound way to heal, release emotional blockages, and restore physical vitality. 
Instructions:
Take 9–13 drops with water each day to deepen your connection with yourself and the plant you're working with.
Collection or Delivery
You can collect your tinctures at any of our events/meetups or pay for delivery if you prefer (UK only). There is an add-on fee if you would like delivery. 
Below is a description of each of the tinctures available: 
Chiric Sanango Flower - Brunfelsia grandiflora
Powerful Master Plant member of the nightshade family.
Chiric means cold, so it removes cold from the bones in the body. It is used often to treat fevers, alleviate pain associated with arthritis, and increase libido. It works on a more physical level, bringing heat to the areas of the body where there is tension. It penetrates deep into the body’s nerves as well as throughout the muscular system, bringing alignment to the core structure of the body. It also directly affects the brain and neurons, leading to a “reset” of the neural network and its interconnections.
Aya Vine - B. Caapi
The vine is a sacred Amazonian plant revered for its profound spiritual and healing properties. Used traditionally by indigenous tribes in ceremonial practices, the vine is believed to open pathways to greater self-awareness, emotional healing, and spiritual awakening. It works as a potent ally in clearing deep-rooted emotional blockages, bringing suppressed fears, traumas, and negative patterns to the surface for release and transformation. Beyond emotional and psychological healing, the vine is known for its capacity to deepen one’s connection to intuition, inner guidance, and the natural world. Please note this product is just made from the vine and does not contain DMT. This tincture provides a gentle yet powerful way to connect with the essence of Aya in a more accessible, non-psychoactive form. Regular use can help align you with your higher purpose, calm your nervous system, and bring a sense of peace and harmony to your life.
The Vine is contraindicated for persons taking anti-depression or anxiety medications. Typical protocols require a person to be off these medications for at least three months prior to consuming Aya in any form, including vine tincture.

Special offers:
If you sign up for the course, you will get a discount of 20% off your first one to one consultation, if you would like to explore any of the issues raised in more detail. Many of Rachel's clients find it beneficial to go into more detail about their childhood or past relationships, for example, in a therapeutic coaching session.
What previous participant said about the course:
"For me, coaching with Rachel has been literally life-changing. When I first contacted Rachel I only expected to find out if dating was viable for someone as socially anxious as me and maybe a little help with my dating profile. What ended up happening transformed not just my beliefs about romantic relationships but about myself, emotions and all my other relationships. And throughout I have found her to be unceasingly gentle, patient and kind.
If a past version of myself read the above it would probably put him off. I would tell him: Rachel will not judge those parts of you that you might be a bit embarrassed about, and not only is she a lovely, friendly person, she is also as evidence-based as a dating coach can get. The worst thing that could happen is you lose a bit of time and money. But the best thing could be that she helps you find someone to spend the rest of your life with. So, if you’re thinking about contacting Rachel, stop procrastinating and go for it!” (Nick, 29)
"I really enjoyed the course. There were plenty of questions and purposeful advice that helped me to reflect on how I approached dates." (Simon, 35)
"I've really enjoyed attending this workshop. Every session has been thought provoking and I have really enjoyed the discussions and the many different perspectives and experiences discussed. The environment felt warm and inviting which allowed me to be vulnerable. Rachel's warm personality was a great help especially in the beginning stages of getting to know everyone. Rachel was very insightful. If you don't know where to begin in the dating world, this workshop is for you." (Lisa, 37) 
"I've learned a lot from Rachel's workshop and it's been great to have a safe and supportive space to talk about some of my challenges in dating. Rachel's a very empathetic and open dating coach. I'd recommend this workshop for anyone looking for a top level introduction to improving their dating habits and prospects." (Isioma, 41)
"Having already had a few 1:1 dating coaching sessions with Rachel, I was keen to take part in the group course in order to have more interaction with others who have also been struggling on this journey and learning from their experiences. I realised that the group sessions would also have a slightly different approach to the 1:1s and thought this could be beneficial to me. I really enjoyed the group course! Rachel's extensive knowledge, from her coaching and research, is evident in the sessions. They were carefully planned and developed but also she managed to personalise them and respond to slightly more individual needs or questions within the group once the sessions were under way. Rachel provided good materials to download as part of the course, in addition to the use of her 'Dating Workbook' as part of the tools for the sessions. I have found these very helpful and the Dating Workbook is great for both guided and independent use. The topics covered in both the group sessions and the Workbook are helpful and it has been good to remind myself about 'who I am', in order to be able to put that forward to potential dates - especially as I feel I am quite a different person now that I am almost 20 years older than when I last dated! Equally useful for me has been working out my 'deal-breakers' and 'deal-makers' to help me be more focussed and intentional with my dates. I look forward to putting these tools and experiences into practice, as well as the sessions from Part 2 of the course, on my next dates and using the Workbook to reflect on how I am progressing towards finding my next relationship. Thank you, Rachel, for all your guidance and support!" (Zosia, 46)
"I have been attending Rachel’s seminars since 2017. Healthy Dating though was my first course. I like that Rachel blends academic knowledge and practical skills in her teaching, whilst also drawing upon learners’ own experiences. There are a number of resources shared and (optional) homework. Even though I consider myself to be quite well versed when it comes to contemporary dating and relationship skills, I still enjoyed the course and learnt some new things." (Richard, 47)
"I thoroughly enjoyed the healthy dating sessions. Initially I was slightly apprehensive as I am quite shy and introverted, however the sessions were very relaxed. Each session offered the opportunity to ask questions and discuss topics with other course members, although there is no pressure to do so. After each session homework was set to help reflect on what we had learnt. As a result I feel more empowered and confident as I start dating again." (Joe, 47) 
"It’s been good to challenge myself to do a course that involves opening up a bit about things I’d tend to keep hidden and not discuss. Definitely ‘outside my comfort zone’ discussing feelings and experiences of dating. But it’s been good to share experiences with others in a supportive atmosphere. The course contents is comprehensive and well-structured and there's no pressure to contribute any more than you feel comfortable." (Pete, 58)
"This kind of group was a real find. I found the mini-course very helpful by giving me space to think about important dating questions. The guys in the group were great. They were willing to share their experiences and wisdom and hearing from such nice open people in the same boat as me was very therapeutic and helpful. Rachel is a very organized, informative, involved, and gentle mediator and a very wise, informed, empathic guide. Many thanks, Rachel!" (Sarah, 67)
