I
believe in taking special care with each and every custom artwork and
take anywhere from 15 to 120 hours for each one to create something
truly special for you. Your portrait can be finished between 5-10 weeks
depending on the size/medium you choose.
Remember, I am not
limited to portraits! If you have a furry friend, favorite location,
home, or heirloom item, I can create a piece of artwork for you, too!
As
I work, I will take pictures of my progress of your drawing and email
them to you for feedback and updates! I love to share a bit of the
process with you, so you can see how it's done and the work behind it.
This keeps us in contact and communicating until the art arrives safely
at your door!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
● So, how do we start?
Email/convo me! Let me know what you are interested in or send me a
picture if you already have one in mind for me to draw from. I am always
happy to walk you through the process of choosing sizes and mediums
that will best fit what you are looking for.
**All my mediums and sizes are detailed below to give you a head start.**
● Payment process?
Once you are decided on what you would love, I can either set up a
custom listing for you on Etsy, or I can send you a direct invoice
through Paypal. If you are interested in a payment plan, I am flexible
in working with you on that, too!
● Which pictures are best to work from?
High Quality! The clearer and more detailed the picture, the more
realistic your artwork will be! If you are interested in a portrait,
make sure facial features are clear and defined so that I can work my
absolute best to make it look just like your loved one.

♥Lainy’s Chalk and
Charcoal♥ – My own unique trademark medium that uses a special blend of
chalk and charcoal pencils and a highly textured paper. I also use powdered
forms of each that I grind and mix by hand for the perfect texture. The chalk’s
special qualities catch light and add a lifelike edge to every portrait that
makes them ‘pop’ right out of the paper!
-Due to its special qualities, I
do not seal this medium with fixative or sealant as it dims the chalk and
charcoal values. My alternative? A high quality Non-glare acrylic glass with a
protective UV coat. This is included with your commission prices and is safe
for shipping!
-A simple white matting and
backing is also included! If you are interested in a custom color, please
contact me for options.

♥Charcoal♥ - With this medium I mainly use charcoal to
create value and depth, using chalk for only bright highlights and details. I
use a much smoother paper that makes it easier to capture a lot of detail and
texture for that photo-realistic touch.
-Sealed
with a protective fixative that prevents smudging and fading.

backing is also included! If you are interested in a custom color, please

Pastels/ Tinted
Charcoal♥
– This is the ultimate crossover
from my charcoal mediums for color. If you love the way chalk and charcoal
looks but really want a full color piece, this is the way to go! I use pastel pencils, bars, as well as
powdered forms of any color that I grind and mix by hand. I also use shades of
tinted charcoal for darker colors and colored pencils over top for detailing.
