The better the quality of your reference photo, the happier you will be with the end result. Lighting, clarity, positioning, and distance are important considerations for a portrait that stands the test of time. For a portrait you’ll cherish, follow these guidelines:
Focus: Choose a photo that offers a clean, clear, and close-up representation of your pet’s face. The entire face should be in focus and large enough to see well.
Angle: Be at eye level with your pet, avoid images looking down on or up at your pet’s face.
Lighting: Avoid photos with dark shadows. The artist needs to be able to see the details within any darker parts of the face. If you can, photograph your pet outdoors in sunlight. If you’re taking a photo indoors, turn on the lights.
Keep in mind that professional photographs are not suitable for this purpose due to copyright protection. You should be the photographer.
Please refer back to my “Photography Tips” page for reference.

As an artist committed to delivering exceptional quality work, I kindly request that you allow me a sufficient timeline of approximately 2-6 weeks to complete your piece. Factors such as the size and intricacy of the artwork, as well as any concurrent full-time contract jobs, can affect the time required to create a piece that fully captures the essence of your beloved pet. Your patience and understanding during this period is greatly appreciated, as I strive to deliver a product that meets and exceeds your expectations.

I exclusively utilize top-of-the-line, artist-grade watercolor materials that I purchased from renowned brands like Daniel Smith, Mission Gold, M. Graham, Schmincke, and Winsor and Newton. Once each artwork is complete, I meticulously spray a layer of Krylon UV-Resistant Clear Gloss to seal and preserve the vibrancy of its colors, reducing the risk of any potential fading over time

Certainly. A draft version of the portrait will be shared with you via email, providing an opportunity for you to review and suggest any revisions before the final color is applied. If you would like to receive progress photos during the creation process, please do not hesitate to request them. It is important to note that once the final color is applied, modifications will not be accepted. Alternatively, if you prefer to receive the portrait as a surprise, you may make that request as well.

Art giclée paper, also known as fine art paper, is a high-quality paper that is specifically designed for printing fine art reproductions. The term "giclée" refers to a printing process that uses archival pigment inks and a high-resolution inkjet printer to produce prints with exceptional color accuracy and detail. Giclée paper is made from acid-free materials that ensure long-lasting color stability and prevent yellowing or fading over time. Additionally, giclée paper has a high level of whiteness, which makes colors appear more vibrant and crisp. It's a popular choice for artists and photographers who want to reproduce their work with the highest level of quality and fidelity.

Giclee prints can be more expensive than traditional prints because of the high quality and specialized nature of the printing process. Giclee printing involves the use of archival-grade inks and specialized high-resolution printers that can reproduce fine details and a wide range of colors. Additionally, giclee prints are usually produced on high-quality, acid-free, and archival-grade paper or canvas, which can also increase the cost of production.
Moreover, giclee printing is a time-consuming process that requires a high level of skill and expertise, which adds to the overall cost of production. Each print must be carefully color-matched, printed, and inspected by a skilled technician to ensure that it meets the artist's or photographer's standards. Finally, since giclee prints are often produced in limited editions, the exclusivity of the prints can also contribute to their higher price point. All these factors combined make giclee prints a more expensive option for those seeking high-quality reproductions of artwork or photography.

For optimal results, we highly recommend that you seek out the services of a professional framer in your area should you desire to have the piece framed. This will ensure that the framing is executed to the highest standards and complements the artwork appropriately.
