Process:

Please contact me with your request and reference photos via e-mail, Instagram or Facebook.

We will discuss a composition first to ensure I can fulfill your request while maintaining quality (for example pose changes, pet type, reference photo clarity).

I will provide a digital edit to demonstrate how the portrait will look, as well as an estimate of total costs including shipping. I will also determine how soon I can complete your portrait based on my current schedule.

After your approval, I will convert the estimate into an invoice, of which a 25% non-refundable deposit will be required before beginning the portrait.

When the portrait is completed, I will send you a digital photo to approve. I may be able to make a few minor changes at this point. Once the remainder of the invoice is paid in full, I will ship the unframed portrait to you by Canada Post in a box with a tracking number to ensure safe arrival.

Please let me know if I may share progress and/or final photos of your commission in my galleries, thank you!

Examples of Reference Photos:

  • Not Ideal

    The resolution is too low and there is a lot of shadow. I am unable to see finer details of the features.

  • Acceptable

    Good composition and the face is still well defined. I will require some additional photos to see details better.

  • Best

    Facial features are well defined and lit. In any case, more than one photo is very helpful to get a feel of your pet’s personality!

Materials Used:

 All of my portraits are created with quality pastel pencils and PanPastels.

Clairefontaine Pastelmat is my preferred canvas.

There are a variety of tones, but availability may vary depending on my current stock.

Please note I do not apply any fixative spray to my artworks.

 Tips for Self-Framing:

If you are not having your portrait professionally framed, here is some advice:

  • Mats or spacers must be used so the glass is not directly touching the pastel.

  • Plastic should be avoided as static charge may lift some pastel particles.

  • Secure the artwork to the mount to avoid possible sliding and damage.

  • Ensure all materials directly touching the artwork are acid-free for long-term storage.

  • As with all artwork, do not display where direct sunlight will reach it.

Payment Methods:

E-transfer is also an option for Canadian residents.
