I believe in taking special care with each & every custom artwork. From your first message until your new artwork arrives safely in your hands, I will be with you through the whole process to make sure the piece of art you receive is exactly what you envisioned. So how does this work? Select your options & check out - OR - Send me a message with what you have in mind! I reply to all messages & orders within one business day to get started. Send your favorite pictures & if you need advice in choosing the best one for a portrait, I can help! I am always happy to walk you through the process of choosing the size & medium that will best fit what you are looking for. As I work, I will send you progress pictures of your drawing so you can see how it develops & we can make any needed adjustments along the way. If you are having a portrait made as a gift, these progress pictures are also a fun way to share the experience! INCLUDED: Archival quality foam core backing & matting in your choice of color are included with each portrait. Your drawing will arrive ready to pop into a frame & display! My Materials I use only archival & acid free products for high quality & longevity. I work on 100% cotton paper with charcoal pencils & fine pressed pastels. Each portrait is finished with a fixative coat that will protect your new art for years.
