3. Place your order

• Drop your photos in the uploader and place order
• In note to seller - Include:

- Hair color (please mention which photo shows the true color)

- Preferred background colors (see samples)

- pets breed if applicable

• I will reach out to discuss your project as soon as your order is placed.
• Your portrait will be painted and printed in the USA.

• After you have placed your order I will work on your proof and send it to you for approval.
• Then the painting process begins.
• Every painting starts with a hand painted digital sketch to show you the placement of the figure(s) on the canvas. Major changes can only be made at this stage so make sure you are happy with the colors and layout.
• Depending on the medium you choose the work is then prepared for the next stage.
• If you choose a digital painting, the painting will entirely hand-painted digitally and then printed on canvas. A high quality giclee print is made with non-fading inks and mailed to you. If you choose a canvas the canvas will be further embellished with Acrylic medum to enhance the look and feel of the canvas before it is shipped.
• If you choose an oil painting the artwork is then transferred to an artist grade canvas and the entire surface of the artwork gets hand-painted with professional artist grade oil paints.

Oil paintings have a beautiful range in color and texture and make the painting look even more life-like than a giclee print. This process takes much longer than creating a digital painting, but is so well worth the extra wait.

• Finally the oil painting receives 2 layers of a UV varnish for a beautiful glossy finish for extra protection and the canvas is mailed to you with hanging hardware already attached.
• Images of the painting in progress are shown at every step of the way so you can request minor changes if needed.
• Nothing ships unless you are 100% happy with the look.
