You can preserve the memories of a beloved pet, or perhaps a favorite animal, for a lifetime.  And do it with an original, unique portrait done in scratchboard.

 

SOURCE PHOTOS
I can complete the scratchboard drawings from printed photographs or from large digital files.  All images submitted, regardless of the format, must be in focus and well lit. The clearer and sharper the image, the better the results will be. Photographs taken with a flash are usually not appropriate because of the lack of contrast and shadows.

 

Photographs taken in natural light, and at high resolution are best. Digital images should be a minimum of 1200 pixels in size, and prints should be at least 5"x7" in size. 

 

Once I receive and have reviewed the files, I will confirm if the images submitted are satisfactory.  If they are not, your prints and your deposit will be returned.  Most drawings take 4 to 6 weeks to be completed.  All prints will be returned with the finished piece.

 

PRICING
Prices quoted at right are for one animal (or one subject) in the drawing.  Additional subjects and / or complex backgrounds may increase the cost.  I will confirm the total cost before work is started.   A non-refundable deposit equaling 25% of the quoted cost is due before the portrait is started. This amount will be subtracted from the final cost.
