A custom house portrait celebrates a new home, commemorates an old home, and is a beautiful custom piece of artwork to gift or cherish.

Your commission is for a one-of-a-kind, hand-painted ink drawing of your home or the place most special to you (from your new business' storefront to your wedding venue, your grandmother's favorite sunny corner, or your vacation home). You'll receive the original painting, ready for framing and display.

Looking for something a little different from this listing? I have fifteen years of experience creating architectural illustrations and am happy to provide an example of something special, or work up a custom listing just for you.

ILLUSTRATION PROCESS

I work from photos of your home to design my illustrations, adding special details that make your house a home (the dog on your front porch, or houseplant in the windows) upon request. Small amounts of text may also be added.

Once you've purchased the listing, please send several photos of your home. The most important photo will be from the front, capturing the home's details, ideally when not in shadow. If you cannot get the entire house in one shot, or if vehicles or trees obscure portions of the house, do take several, including close-ups, so I can see every part of the home or building to be drawn.

Custom lettering (a quote, address, family name) is available upon request.

I send a digital copy of the line drawing for your review and approval (revising if needed).
The final artwork is on 140lb watercolor paper, sized for standard frames (5x5, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14), and ships via USPS priority padded mailer, in a clear sleeve with chipboard backing. Digital images are also available for purchase, delivered via secure online download.

SCHEDULE

Currently shipping approximately ten days after receiving requests, with 1-3 days in transit to US addresses. Please advise as to any special deadlines for receipt of artwork.
