Guiseppi's - Art in Nature - Pet Portrait Artist - Lakeland, FL - Nationwide

Remember your pet with a hand created pet portrait. I will turn your pet photo into an original colored pencil piece of art. All portraits are hand-drawn and highly detailed from your photo(s). I use the best materials available, and strive to create a piece that will last for many years.

I love photography, art and animals, so I have combined my passions. I'm a pet owner, and I know how pets are part of the family. When someone orders a pet portrait, I know that person cares about their pet, and I know that my artwork will put a smile on someone's face and a lasting memory.

It will usually take 6-8 weeks to complete a drawing once the details and reference photo(s) are agreed upon and received. It will also depend on the size of the piece. Before placing the order, I will let you know the estimated time. It also depends on how many commissions I am working on at the time you place the order.

I prefer to create single pet portraits starting at $500, but will do two or three within the same portrait. First additional pet will be $200, third an additional $100, again that's within the same piece).

I work from my print of your digital files. The artwork will depend on the quality of the image file that you send. The better the size and quality of the image, the more detail the artwork will show. Try to pick the pictures with the best light, and preferably a close-up of their face.

To place an order, please email me and tell me what kind of portrait you want. Once we have agreed upon the size, # of pets, I'll send you an email invoice via Pay Pal, and you pay for the portrait online. Once you have paid for the portrait, I start working on your portrait.

Do I need to put a deposit? YES. For me to start on your portrait, I request a 50% deposit and at delivery the remaining 50%.

Do I need to pick up the portrait, or can you ship the portrait? You are welcome to pick up the artwork. But if you don't live near, I can also ship the artwork. If you want the artwork to be shipped, please send me the complete address before placing the order so I can give you an estimate on shipping cost. If you are in the state of Florida or I need to mail to and address in Florida, then you will need to pay sales taxes.

You are responsible for shipping cost and packaging, and those must be paid ahead of time when placing the order.

Is the portrait framed and matted? No, but at additional costs it can be, depending on the shipping, packaging and insurance fees.

Do you do commissions for other portraits that aren't animals? Yes, I can do portraits of houses, cars, and motorcycles. Send me the idea of your project, and I will tell you if I can do it or not.

Colored pencil portraits are all done on acid free paper. You will need to frame them under UV acrylic, and keep them out of direct sunlight.
