How It Works

1. Photos & Planning

Get in touch to share your reference photographs or project ideas. If you do not have the perfect photo, I can guide you through capturing one or arrange a dedicated photoshoot for you. Together, we will determine the ideal scale and composition for your space.

2. Deposit & Drawing

A 50% deposit secures your place on the studio calendar. Once confirmed, I begin hand-drawing your portrait using premium charcoal and archival paper. Upon completion, you will receive a high-resolution photo & video to ensure the artwork is perfect.

3. Finish & Framing

Once you approve the finished drawing, the remaining 50% balance is settled. Your artwork is then professionally framed in glass, securely packaged, and prepared for either studio pickup or tracked delivery. Framing is fully included in all standard pricing.
