My Process

1. To get started, I highly prefer to collect a number of photos, either digital or printed. Please understand that I’m picky. And that’s because I don’t want to make any compromises on your painting. Part of the process is that you are paying me for my sense of style. A cute photo can be VERY different from a good painting reference!
   
2. If I see possibilities, I collect $50 (nonrefundable) from you for the next steps. This fee will be included in the nonrefundable painting fee if you choose to proceed.
3. I cull through and crop those I see as the best possibilities.
4. I email you options, as many as I have.
5. ​Once you’ve chosen, I make any needed adjustments digitally (a mock-up) to show you approximately how it will look in the painting. For example, I often have to change a background color to better showcase the main character.
6. After you sign off on the mocked-up image and a size for the painting, I collect the first half of the agreed upon fee. This first half is nonrefundable.
7. Then I start painting!
8. ​Once I get to a point I’m happy with, I’ll send you an in-progress image.
9. We talk about any potential adjustments.
10. After those minor adjustments, and your final sign off, the painting needs to dry for a week or two depending on the thickness of the paint.
11. Then I varnish the painting, which takes a day to dry.
12. Once it’s ready to deliver or ship, I collect the final payment.
13. ​Then it’s yours!
