8x10 Watercolor Custom Portrait - Pet Portrait Artistry - Nationwide

Verified Member since Feb 2020 Verified checkmark

Get an original handpainted watercolor 8x10 portrait of your pet for $80. The portrait price is for one pet. Send me a high-quality photo(s) or your pet's face, with some descriptive info like eye color, breed and personality and I will create a one of a kind handpainted portrait that captures the personality of your pet. The portrait will be painted with watercolor in a classic style with realistic colors and will focus on the pet's face and upper body, with a color background. Please indicate your preferred color for the background. I will choose how the pet will best fit in the dimensions, whether it should be a portrait (8x10) or landscape dimensions (10x8).

I will try my best to answer inquiries in a timely manner. Please keep in mind that I also work full-time during the week, and things come up.

The portrait will be painted on 140lb acid-free watercolor paper. Please note that an 11x14 mat is included. Frames are not included.

Payment will be asked for once I send a watermarked sample of the finished work to you digitally. Upon completion and final approval from you, final payment is expected and I will ship your work via insured, Priority Mail in a flat mailer. Shipping is extra, usually around $7 in continental US. (Please note, completion times vary depending on whether or not I have commissions lined up ahead of you. In general, it takes me 1-3 weeks to complete a portrait.)

Legal stuff: You will retain copyrights to your photos, and by purchasing this item, you give permission to me to create an original work of art based on your photo(s). I retain copyrights to my original work(s) of art. All I ask is for permission to use your photo and my art in future promotional materials, either online or in print. Your portrait likeness will not be sold to others by me.

Prices subject to change (but not while an order is in process).
