    Pet portraits are usually drawn from photos. Although it is always helpful to meet a subject in person to gain knowledge about their personality and nature of the fur, photos are a natural fit for animals. If possible, I try to take my own photos and select the pose with the client. Otherwise, I will review your submitted photos, select a composition, work out a ‘mock-up’ or sketch of the planned portrait, then schedule a timeframe for completion. Please read through my tips for quality photographs<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>

    Portraits and botanicals are created with top-quality artists pencils on acid-free, museum quality paper. Combined with an acid free mount, frame and a low-light placement or UV blocking glass, the artwork will remain vivid for a lifetime.<\/p>

    I ship pieces in an acid-free mat suitable for framing. *Not all portraits will fit perfectly into a pre-cut standard size mat or frame.<\/em> Sometimes the portrait my better fit a custom cut mat and frame from a custom framer.\u00a0 Quality framing and placement away from direct sunlight can extend the lifespan of your artwork. Using framing materials with glues and paints that leach acids into the paper of the artwork can leave permanent discoloration. These include cardboard and chipboard backers found in retail frames.<\/p>
