Donna Mitchell Pastel Pet Portraits - Nationwide
I'm an independent artist, working from my home studio in Carlisle, PA, creating original works of art in the pastel medium. I welcome commissioned portraits of pets and people. All Pet Portraits are created from your good photographs. I prefer to work from pictures you personally have taken of your pet, opposed to studio images. I may make suggestions for taking good photographs when you inquire about a portrait. If you would like a person included in your portrait, please be aware that this changes things dramatically. The individual becomes the main subject and there is a different price chart for people portraits.
The commission process is easy. You choose a preferred size, we discuss your preferences and pricing. Pricing varies according to size (ranging from $375 to $1100 for a single pet, solid background) and your preferences. For instance, if you want a detailed background, there will be an additional charge. Additional dogs in a painting is a discounted additional charge for each. After I receive photos and a deposit from you, drawing and painting will commence. I will be in touch with you throughout the painting process. Major corrections may be made in the beginning. Minor corrections can be made until your final approval is met. Allow up to 8 weeks for completion of pets and up to 3 to 6 months for people included. Painting may be picked up or shipped (an additional cost) upon receipt of final payment. If necessary, I carefully package and wrap the unframed artwork and then ship UPS insured. Your painting will need to be conservation framed by a reputable framer in your locality. If you are local to Carlisle, PA, you have the option to choose your own materials and have the artist do the custom conservation framing for you! Please allow additional time for holiday orders.
I am an Associate Member of the Portrait Society of America and the Pastel Society of America, an Accredited Member of the Maryland Portrait Society, and a Signature Member of the Maryland Pastel Society.
Please contact and book me on Petworks. Thank you.
