Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does it take to make a portrait?
One to two weeks. If I am currently at high volume, it will be closer to two weeks. I will always provide an estimate of completion when you request the pet portrait. No worries!
Can I see the progress of my portrait?
Absolutely! If you would like to see the progress of the work, I will periodically post the progression of your portrait through social media (facebook/instagram) and email.
I have a portrait idea that was not addressed on the site, will you still do it?
I will certainly do my best. Let me know what you're thinking and I'll provide you with the best opeiong! Please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly. Contact me here.
Do you frame the portrait?
No, I do not frame the work before sending. It will be shipped safely to your door, but it will be up to you to purchase the frame.
Can I request changes to the portrait after completed?
Yes, some changes can be made to the portrait once completed. If alterations are possible, I will do what I can to make it happen! Some changes just aren't possible with the medium I work with, but I will let you know the options available if needed.
What is your drawing process?
All portraits are hand drawn by me. I use Cray Pas Specialist oil pastel on Strathmore acid free, medium weight 400 series drawing paper. I scale the photo you submit to the size you have requested and use the photo for detailed reference. Good quality photos will give the best results as the detail of the animal will be visible.
I want multiple pets in my portrait, do they have to be in the same picture?
Not at all. Submit one or multiple photos of the pets and I will manipulate them into the portrait together. Also, if you have a specific background you would like drawn, you can also send a picture of that as well. Again, better quality photos will get you the most detailed drawing.
What methods of payment do you accept?
I accept check, money order, cash, PayPal, and Venmo.
