Welcome! There is nothing more special than a portrait that beautifully captures a moment in time, preserved with the soft detail and realism it deserves. Every piece is an act of love, carefully drawn to reflect the unique character of your loved one and their spirit. This page outlines the sizes, pricing, and simple steps to bring your cherished memory to life on paper.
Booking & Customization
Customization: For portraits featuring more than three subjects, or for highly detailed and specific compositions (such as full background scenes), direct contact is required for a personalized quotation.
Early Booking: A significant amount of time and focus is dedicated to each piece to ensure the highest level of realism. As only a limited number of orders are accepted, booking a commission slot well in advance is highly recommended.
Reference Photos (Critical): To achieve the desired depth and realism seen in the portfolio, very clear, high-resolution photographs of the individual are required. Several reference images may be requested to accurately capture lighting, facial features, and personality.
Progress Updates: Work-in-progress (WIP) images will be shared during the creation process to ensure satisfaction with the direction of the portrait.
Payment Structure
Stage 1: Advance Deposit (40%): A 40% non-refundable deposit is required to secure the commission slot and confirm the booking.
Stage 2: Mid-Project Installment (30%): A 30% installment is due two weeks prior to the scheduled drawing commencement date. This payment confirms the start of the primary work phase.
Stage 3: Final Balance (30%): The final 30% balance is due upon completion of the portrait, prior to the artwork’s delivery or collection.
Presentation & Delivery
