Get your very own personalized portrait from Cordial Kitten!

Tired of the same old family picture you have taken year after year? I can help you change things up a bit by making you a one-of-a-kind drawing. Impress your friends when you tell them it was made by a published children's book illustrator. http://cordialkitten.com/oliver.html

Why get a portrait? Grandparents' anniversary, new baby announcement, Christmas cards, pet portraits, birthday present, wedding invitations or gift, or even just because.

So, what IS a Full Service Portrait? It's an original one-of-a-kind painting featuring almost anything your heart desires, drawn in the Cordial Kitten style. Each image is a watercolor and graphite mixed media piece on thick, archival Stonehenge paper.

Please note: these prices are for portraits including UP TO 5 people. If you have a larger family than this, please contact me for a quote.

ALSO NOTE AS PRICING HAS RECENTLY CHANGED: If you'd like me to draw your entire house or any other very specific architectural structure in the background this will result in an additional charge. If you don't want a building included in your portrait please choose "no building added." If you have any questions about this at all, or whether or not your background request qualifies as a "building or structure" please message me. Exceptions will be made, but you gotta ask first!

Please choose which size portrait you'd like from the drop down menu to your right.

When you purchase a Full Service Portrait you get an original painting along with a small .jpg to use on your facebook, blog, etc. (Please note: having your image made into a greeting card or any other type of reproduction will result in an additional fee).

Typically orders work like this:
*I'll give you my email address, and you email me as many pictures as you'd like of the family/pet/person who will make an appearance in the portrait, including any specific environment you may want me to include.
*After discussing what sort of final image you would like to see, I will produce and send a sketch for your approval. You can make any changes you see fit (up to three revisions).
*When we've agreed on the sketch I will begin on the final color version of the piece.
*When it's finished, your drawing will be carefully packaged up and sent out directly to you.

Seem like a lot of steps? It's actually not so bad, I promise!

The final piece will remain the copyright of Candice Hartsough.

Generally portraits take about a month to complete, but can sometimes be more or less than that depending on my schedule. Please contact me for information.
