Common FAQ:
Can you make it by Christmas? -- Yes but there will be a $100 rush fee. Please also add the rush fee to cart when you're ordering, or contact me first and I will send you the link.
What if my pets won't pose together for a photo? -- You can send your favorite photos of each pet, and another picture of them in the same photo just for size reference.
What if I want an adjustment after it's done? -- When I send you a photo of your finished portrait(s), you'll be able to request small changes if necessary. If I can make the changes, I will! No extra cost.
I have a horse, is that okay? -- I do all animals, so yes! In fact even if it is a landscape scenery you'd like in my style just text or email me first to check.
Do you do people? -- Yes!
What makes a good reference photo? -- Good lighting! Outdoor pets' photos should ideally be taken outside in the sun, and indoor pets should ideally be by a window for natural lighting.
Do you ship to my country? -- I ship internationally, so yes! If you encounter any issues with filling in your address please contact me. Customs fees will be your responsibility, so I would recommend looking up the current policy online (I do declare the full price of the portrait so that I can insure my artwork in shipping)
Can I pay in deposits? -- I need 50% to book time on my calendar, and 100% to start. Contact me if you'd like to pay in deposits. Note: they are nonrefundable.
Do you do smaller portraits? -- No, because it takes more time to create the same level of detail on a very small scale, so it wouldn't make sense to offer them.
Other Information:
This portrait will be made with soft pastel on pastelmat paper, a thick card-like paper which you will frame in glass once it is shipped to you. The portrait does not come framed, instead I have attached a clear sheet of acid-free Glassine paper to protect the surface from smudging. Only once you are ready to frame it should you remove the glassine cover, hold from the very edges, and place it into the frame.
I will update you when I start and share the whole process with you as well as with my Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, and Patreon followers. If you need it kept a secret (maybe it's a present and the person follows me), please let me know in advance.
Finally, sometime during the month you ordered for, I will complete and ship your portrait to you after your approval.
Cancelation policy: Because I am designating a time in my schedule to complete the portrait, I am unfortunately unable to offer refunds. If you have booked with a deposit, that deposit is also nonrefundable. However, if I am unable to complete the portrait (for example if I injure my hand), I will give full refunds.
