Ordering:  Once I receive your request we can begin discussing your ideas and details regarding your portrait. The next step is to gather photos of your pet. I work from one photo, so be sure to pick out a favorite that you want to use for your portrait. Of course additional photos are also helpful for color and detail reference. Delivery is usually 2-3 weeks, payment is due prior to delivery or shipping.

Hand-drawn Process:  My portraits are made using pastels on heavy coated paper or pastel board. For smaller size portraits I use colored pencils on vellum. Each piece is then sprayed with a protective fixative. The process is done in 3-4 layers, which helps build up vivid color and detail. Here’s a sample…
