F&S Gift Store 18x24 Hand Painted Custom Pet Portrait, Pet Loss, Fine Art Painting, Photorealistic, Classic Oil Portrait of multiple dogs, dog lover, gift
COMMISSION YOUR OWN CUSTOM PET PORTRAIT JUST LIKE THIS ONE!! THIS IS HOW IT WORKS!
1. Select your size/medium
Do you want an 18x24 oil painting or a 9x12 colored pencil drawing? Or perhaps a 16x20 oil painting of 2 pets together! Select whether you would like your portrait in colored pencil or oil paint, then choose the size. Keep in mind, the larger the piece the more time it takes, but that also means more detail because I have a larger area to work with/zoom in on.
2. Send high quality photos
�
I can't stress enough how important good quality photos are! Your portrait is only as good as the photos you provide. Up close, eye level shots of your pet in bright, natural outdoor light are best! That allows me to really zoom in and see every detail of their fur and little quirks, it also allows for richer contrast with shadows and highlights. I work from one main photo, but please send multiple shots of your pet so that I can really get a feel for them. If you are wanting a portrait with multiple pets, I can work from separate photos and combine the pets into one scene, but it is imperative that you send a group shot so that I can see size relation. Please send your selected photos as JPG or PDF files to my email and then I can start composing!

3. I'll create a mockup
Once I've received your photos and any special instructions for the portrait, I will then create a mockup of the drawing/painting in Photoshop with the background of your choice. Creating a digital mockup gives me the ability to shift things around and adjust colors until we get the composition just the way you like it! Once you've approved the mockup, I will then begin the actual drawing/painting. This is where the real fun begins!

4. Duration
Colored Pencil Drawings: 2 - 6 weeks
Oil Paintings: 3 -5 months
The larger the painting, the longer it takes.
During this time, please feel free to email me about updates on your portrait. I can even send you progress shots if you'd like, but I've found that most of my clients like to be totally surprised at the end when they see their completed portrait for the first time. If there are any changes you would like made to the portrait, now is the time to tell me, before I varnish it. Once you have approved the final piece I will then varnish the painting in either a high gloss or matte varnish, depending on your preference. Varnishing the painting seals it all in and protects it indefinitely, and will also make the colors appear richer. It's amazing what a good varnish can do!

5. Framing & Payment
I offer my clients the option of having their portrait custom framed. I know a lot of people get overwhelmed when they hear the phrase custom framing so I tried to make it easier on them by taking care of that myself. Besides, since I spent the last 3 months getting very familiar with your pet, I think it's safe to say that I might have an edge on picking out the most complimentary frame ;) If you decide to have your piece custom framed, simply tell me the price point that you wish to stay in and I will find a frame that fits it. Please note that if you are custom framing, you should expect to spend around $75 - $200 depending on the size of your portrait and the quality of the frame. The custom framing price is in addition to the cost of your portrait. So if your 9x12 oil painting costs $400 and the custom frame costs $90, I would expect a payment of $490 upon deliverance of your piece.
Payment is due before I send out the final framed portrait. I will make a listing of your portrait and you will need to purchase that directly from Etsy.
