HERE ARE THE STEPS

1. First, order your Custom Home Portrait.

2. Then, communicate (convo) me when you make the purchase. You can do this by clicking the “ask a question” box in the upper right, or in the “note to seller” when checking out.

3. Next, I will ask you to send me several digital photographs of your home focusing on your favorite views, preferably in jpeg format. We will communicate more about this at the time.

4. Each painting begins with my doing a pencil drawing of your home.

5. I then go over the drawing with pen and ink, paying careful attention to detail.

6. Next, I add watercolor and use ink to highlight architectural and landscaping features.

You will be kept in the loop throughout the entire process, with consultations about what you would like me to emphasize in the painting, what view you prefer, and if there are any elements of the photograph that you would like me to modify or eliminate. Even the season can be changed!

7. Once your Custom Home Portrait is completed, it will be carefully packaged in a sturdy container and sent to you by USPS with a tracking number.
