Commission Process

Medium

Pastel

Portraits are completed with soft 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.

The pastel portrait is mounted, matted 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 from dust and UV light damage.

Size

Price is determined by size. Simple solid/gradient colored backgrounds are included. Detailed backgrounds are available upon request for an additional fee. Each additional pet per portrait is $50 starting at the 8x10 size and larger.

Order

  • ​Once you 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. My waitlist is generally 3-6 months.

  • 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. Which you can pay through this website, Venmo or invoice.

  • You'll be notified when you portrait has begun and receive a final photo for your approval.

  • Payment of balance is required prior to delivery.
