Watercolor, pen and ink or pencil house portraits

are an excellent gift for the person who has everything.

Whether it's a current home or one that has been lived in and loved, we hope you find the step-by-step process below helpful when commissioning this treasured gift.

PROCESS:

1. GCD + Client: The first call to discuss your project! We'd love to talk about your vision- whether it's a surprise for a loved one, a birthday gift, a first home or for the whole family when Mom and Dad are selling... We will: discuss a deadline, place a deposit, talk about photos needed- whether professional photos are available or pix from your iphone- choose a preferred angle of the property, discuss details to be included, discuss details to be included that aren't in the photo (if possible), confirm size, matting/ framing.

2. GCD: Create a pencil draft of layout of portrait. Upon approval, begin portrait.

3. GCD: Begin inking or painting the portrait. Photos of progress will be sent along the way. 

4. GCD: When portrait is complete, artwork is scanned and cleaned up for future use in notecards, holiday cards, stationery, etc. Original artwork is mounted, matted and delivered to client. 

We offer 12 x 16"+ watercolor, pen and ink and pencil hand-drawn and hand-painted portraits. Our portraits are mounted and matted in museum-quality, acid-free, archival cotton mat and backing boards complete with artist's bio.
