To Commission A Drawing:
Thank you for your interest in my artwork! I create heirloom quality portraits from your favorite photographs. If you are interested in commissioning a drawing of your own, please use the following steps as a guide.
Choosing the right photograph:
I accept regular developed photos and digital e-mailed photos. The clarity of the photo you choose greatly affects the artwork. The more detailed the photo, the more detailed the artwork.
* The photo should be sharply focused and the subject should be properly lit.
* The eyes should be clearly visible with good distinction between the pupil and the iris. The eyes are so important in capturing the 'soul' of the person or pet.
* I will gladly work with you to find the right image.
Pricing and Payment Plan:
Each portrait will be quoted once I receive the photograph. The price depends on the complexity of the drawing. Striped or patterned clothing, curly hair and multiple people or pets take longer. All orders require a deposit of 50%. For local clients, final payment is due when the portrait is picked up or hand-delivered. For long-distance orders a mailed or e-mailed picture of the finished portrait will be sent for your approval. Once the final payment is received, the artwork will be shipped and shipping costs are additional.
Time Guidelines:
Each drawing can take several months to complete. Please contact me to inquire about availability in my datebook.
