Custom Watercolor Business Portrait

After your purchase, you’ll receive an email from me with information about your painting. You can reply to this email with your photos. I’ll reach out if I have questions and share my composition plan with you.

1. Place an order for the desired painting size.

2. Email me well-lit photos (or multiple).

3. Review the preliminary sketch for approval on the overall layout and sizing of the elements.

4. Approve the photo of the final result, then look out for your finished painting in the mail!

You may also request to combine multiple photos into one watercolor portrait, such as including people or pets from different images. Photos should complement each other to create a cohesive final result. If you have questions about your photos, please contact me before ordering to discuss feasibility.

My mini ornaments are made using glass and gold metal locket frames, each about 3 inches in size. I offer a variety of shapes, so if you’d like to order an ornament, I’ll suggest the best shape for your portrait and share my recommendations with you before I start painting. If you have specific preferences for the ornament shape, please mention them in the form!

Note: I’m also experimenting with wooden ornaments! If they’re ready by the time I begin your painting, I’ll let you know.

A form will be available before purchase for additional customization options, including text and background style. You can also add up to two handwritten calligraphy text lines at the bottom of the painting (optional).

For the best results, please provide a clear, high-quality, well-lit photo. Daylight or well-lit indoor settings often produce the best images for dynamic, realistic watercolor portraits. Blurry, low-quality, backlit, or unclear images can compromise the final result. If you have questions about whether your photo will work, please reach out.

I offer several add-on options, including fine art prints, digital downloads for printing at home, and custom greeting cards. Indicate your interest in add-ons once you’ve added a commission to your cart: a form will pop up. Then I’ll reach out to share pricing and options!

I do not offer refunds for paintings once they are purchased and either completed or already in progress. However, I will keep you updated on the process and ensure that you’re satisfied with the composition before finalizing the piece. If you have feedback on the completed painting, I’m open to discussing it.

To preserve the quality of your watercolor painting, avoid direct sunlight and excessive moisture. Framing the piece behind UV-protective glass can protect against fading and discoloration, ensuring it remains vibrant for years to come.
