Custom House Portraits

$100.00

Custom watercolor portraits are a beautiful way to turn your home's story into a timeless piece of art, capturing what makes your house a "home." To see a selection of my watercolor paintings, including pets, animals, flowers and landscapes, click HERE.

House portraits are sketched by hand first and then painted with artist-grade watercolors on 140 lb. acid-free cold press watercolor paper. The final piece will be a detailed watercolor rendition based on the clear reference photo(s) provided.

How does the process work?

1. After placing your order, I'll email you with a time frame and to discuss your ideas for your house portrait. Let me know if there are specific details you'd like added, or things I should leave out (like telephone poles, cars, etc.) You can send me several reference photos by email. It’s helpful to have a variety of images so I can clearly see colors and important details.

2. Next, I'll draw a rough pencil sketch to share with you so we can figure out the size, elements and placement on the page.

3. Then I'll do the detailed pencil drawing and check with you to make sure everything is correct before I start painting. 

4. Once the painting is completed, I'll send you a photo of the artwork for final approval. Upon confirmation, I'll carefully package your portrait in a clear, acid-free sleeve and a sturdy cardboard envelope for safe mailing.* You'll receive tracking information for your shipment.

Your portrait will arrive ready for framing or gifting and will fit into a standard frame size. If your painting is being sent as a gift, I can include a handwritten card and simple complimentary gift wrapping. Just add this information at checkout, along with the message you'd like to include.

*If you are located within 6 miles of my studio in the village of Dryden, New York, local delivery or pick-up is also available. Simply select this option at checkout.

How long will it take to finish the painting?

Each portrait is made-to-order with care. Depending on how many paintings I have ahead of yours, it may take up to several weeks.

If you have a specific deadline or questions before placing an order, feel free to contact me, or leave a note at checkout. I will always do my best to accommodate your needs!

Thank you!
