I work with high quality pastels on 800 grit UArt sandpaper. The process begins with the customer giving me several photos of his/her pet and we work together to find the best photo to use for the portrait. After that, I do a layout drawing and send it to the customer for approval. When the layout is approved, I begin the final artwork. When I have completed approximately 1/3 of the portrait, I send to the customer for a "Sneak Peak from the Drawing Board." Upon approval, I finish the work and frame the portrait. The customer is involved through the whole process, and I will add a collar, toy or background at the customer's request. If the customer is local, I often meet him/her to deliver. Otherwise, I send UPS.
