Petstrokes Portraits:
Custom Watercolor(View Gallery)
My Watercolor portraits are more whimsical and detailed than my Picasso. They are also a little more customized than the Picasso, the customer can choose more freely in terms of background image and style. These are for those who want a detailed and mystical representation of their pet rather than a bold and colorful somewhat abstract one. My watercolor portraits are slightly glittery (you cannot tell in the web pictures, sorry) unless you request that they not be.
Sizes:
6x8 - $50, 1 pet only
8x10 - $60, 1 pet only
10x10 - $70, up to 2 pets
11x14 - $85, up to 4 pets

Additional pets in the portrait (must be size 9x12+) cost $10 more per pet. If you MUST have a different size, prices are negotiable.



1. E-mail me a request (hannah@petstrokes.com). This includes at least three photos: A head shot, a body shot, and a general photo. Please send the clearest pictures possible in which the colors aren't too washed out. You can also include pictures of your pet's favorite toy , your pet sleeping, etc. Also include in this e-mail a paragraph telling me about your pet: Personality, favorite games, toys, etc. Also tell me what size painting you want. Let me know what kind of background you want: describe IN DETAIL or send me a picture of what you want (example: Salty's owner send me a picture of her purple flowered bed which he loves to sleep on and then told me she wanted a swirly, starry background). Include what time of day you want it to be--Day, night, twilight, etc. Tell me which photo you best like your pet's position in. If you'd If you like none of the positions, explain to me how you wish for your pet to be posing.

2. I send you a sketch of what I pictured you wanted. If it seems right, you send me a 50% deposit. If it does not, please tell me what to modify (dont worry--my feelings aren't hurt) until you are pleased with the result. Please keep in mind that as my watercolor paintings are focused mainly on and colors, the sketch won't look as good as the final product.

3. When you are happy with the sketch and I have recieved my deposit, I will finish the picture and send you proofs.

4. You send me the remaining 50% of funds. If you want your picture framed, you send the cost for framing as well. It will take an extra day or two to be framed.

5. I send you your picture and everybody (hopefully) is happy! Please e-mail me and tell me what you think when you recieve it, I'd love to hear from you.

Note: after requesting a portrait, the customer agrees that they have no reprodution rights. The customer agrees to pay for shipping. If the customer waits an unreasonable amount of time (more than 2 weeks) before sending any funds (deposit or remaining 50%) and does not contact me to tell me the reason for their absence, I have the right to sell the finished product to someone else or reuse the canvas. Upon the request of a portrait, the customer agrees to pay the given price unless we have negotiated a different size of portrait.
