How it works
Ready to request a commission? You can get started by filling out this form so I can get to know you and your pet. See below for a peek into the process!
Process
-
Reach out to me to initiate the process! You can contact me at swallowtailwatercolor@gmail.com or via Instagram or Facebook pages.
-
Fill out the commission form to let me know more about what you are looking for in your commission.
-
To accept the commission, I will need 2-3 good quality photos of your pet sent over email, including one in the position you would like for the portrait.
-
At the time that I accept the commission, a 50% deposit is due (Zelle swallowtailwatercolor@gmail.com or Venmo @swallowtailwatercolor).
-
I'll get started on painting your fur baby! If you like, I can send you updates via text or email as I make progress.
-
Once the project nears completion, I will send you a photo of the nearly-completed portrait. At this time, you can let me know any minor changes. Keep in mind that watercolor is a translucent medium, so at this time only darker colors can be added on top. White acrylic can be used for whiskers, white spots.
-
When the painting is ready for shipping, you will receive the final bill. As soon as I receive the final payment, I will send the painting to you. The package will be insured for the full cost of the painting.
-
Enjoy! Please send me a picture of your pet with the painting or videos of a surprising opening. I love to see these!
