About Dry Brush Technique...

In my technique, I use ivory black oil paint rubbed by brushes on a high quality paper. I use an eraser to make the highlights, and sometimes white paint for the lightest of lights. In this technique I may use pastel, charcoal, ink etc. I slightly touch brushes in the paint and rub them on a palette so the brushes are actually almost dry. The paint on paper is not greasy to the touch. After the portrait is finished, the portrait can be immediately inserted into a frame or rolled up for transportation without a frame.

 

How it works...

First, decide on a size you want your portrait. Second, send me the photo(s) by email or by post for reviewing. Try your best to find clear photo(s). The photo should be clear enough to see the detailed features of the subject. From a good photo I can certainly create an artwork of masterpiece quality for you.

Sending your photos...

Send your photos to my email at awesomegraphicdesign@yahoo.com. If you're on Facebook, you may message me, or tag me in the photo(s). If they aren't digital have them scanned to the computer and send them. If there is no other way, send them snail mail.

 

Painting your portrait...

Once I begin your portrait please allow me up to 2 weeks to finish. Once I am finished, I will be in contact with you to show you a digital copy.

 

Shipping...

I ship USPS First Class for unframed portraits and Priority Mail on framed portraits or canvases, insured and with tracking.

 

Payment...

I require payment before I begin, this reserves your spot in my schedule. I accept check/money orders, credit/debit cards, and PayPal. If we are to meet in person I will accept cash payment.
