After receiving your order, the artist will contact you by email (click personalization to enter your email address) with instructions about sending her your photograph or photographs. For best results in portraits, make sure the photo you select is large and clear for the artist to see details in the person's face. Photographs taken in natural light (without a flash) provide the best quality reference photos for the artist's drawings. Artist can use several photos to compose the final artwork, such as putting one facial expression on another pose. You will receive your Custom Charcoal Portrait within six weeks after the artist receives your photo(s). Your custom artwork will be matted and ready for framing. The artist prefers not to make duplicates because she believes portraits are more special if they are one-of-a-kind.
Custom Charcoal Portraits are available in the following sizes: 5 x 7 in., 8 x 10 in., and 11 x 14 in. The prices listed are for one or two people in the portrait. If your portrait will include more than two people, you will be contacted for additional charges.
