There is a waiting period of approx. one to two weeks from time of receiving your photo to postage for this item - although time will differ upon occasion. You will be informed if the artwork will take longer.

All paintings are created on stretched canvas and come unframed. They can be hung as is or framed. Paintings do not require framing under glass.

All drawings are created on quality drawing cartridge and will require framing. Drawings are best framed under glass with your choice of cardboard matting. The drawing itself should never be allowed to touch the glass.

You can send individual or group photos of your pet/s. Your photos can be emailed to me or sent via post (requires longer waiting period).

 *Photos will be returned to you with your finished painting.*

You will be contacted within 24 hours of sending your photo with further details and questions regarding the medium and preffered background for your artwork.

After completion of the artwork - you will be emailed a photo of the finished work. If you are happy with the artwork - you will contact me for an invoice. If you are not happy with the finished artwork, the sale will be cancelled without question.

No payment is due until after the artwork is completed. If you are not completely satisfied with the result you do not have to pay, but by doing so you agree to me selling the finished painting at auction to whoever wants to buy it.

====================================================

CHOOSE BETWEEN THE FOLLOWING MEDIUMS:

Oil Paint on Canvas

Oils have a depth and glow that surpasses other mediums. Due to the slow-drying nature of oils and the extra cost in regards of both time and materials, an oil painting will take longer to complete and be more expensive than other mediums offered here. One to two weeks should be expected for painting completion.

Acrylic Paint on Canvas

Acrylic portraits offer the texture and realism of a painted portrait at a lower cost than that of an oil painting. Average completion time of an acrylic painting is three days to one week but may be sooner depending upon how busy I am.

 

I am also able to provide:

Coloured Pencil

Amazing detail and realism can be acheieved with this medium, but the finished work will require framing under glass with the addition of suitable matting and a backing board. All drawings are created on high quality drawing cartridge.

Graphite (Lead Pencil)

For those of you who favor this medium, I am happy to create a detailed drawing for you. This is one of my favorite mediums to work with as it allows me to achieve both subtle shading and strong lines. Will require framing under glass to protect your portrait with matting and backing board. Created on high quality drawing cartridge.

Charcoal

Charcoal offers sharp contrasts, subtle shading and a truely artistic result. Best for simple portraits without background clutter. Will require framing under glass to protect your portrait with matting and backing board. Created on high quality drawing cartridge.

Pen & Ink (Black line art)

Another of my favorite mediums. Offers strong linework with line shading offering surprising depth and detail. Very artistic result. Will require framing under glass to protect your portrait with matting and backing board. Created on high quality drawing cartridge.
