Medium
Acrylic or Pastel
Portraits are available in acrylic on canvas or with pastels on PastelMat paper. Only lightfast pigments and acid-free materials are used to create a portrait that will last and not fade if properly cared for.
Acrylics come ready with hanging wire and are finished with a varnish to protect the painting from UV light damage, yellowing and dust.
A pastel portrait is mounted and unframed. I do not 'fix' the pastels as that can alter the colors over time. Once protected under a frame, particularly a museum quality glass, your portrait is well protected.

Order

​Once you determined what medium (acrylic or pastel) and have an idea of preferred size, send along an inquiry. If you wish to receive your portrait by a specific date, please indicate in your request. I try to accommodate as much as possible but there are certain times of the year that may not be possible.
-
I'll notify you of my current waitlist time and request photos, at which point we discuss background color, pose, items to be included such as collar, bandana etc.
-
Once you're happy with the preliminary mock-up I require a $50 non-refundable deposit to secure your commission slot.
-
You'll be notified when you portrait has begun and receive a final photo for your approval.
-
Payment of balance is required prior to shipping.
