What am I drawing?

I draw realistic animal portraits with coloured pencils, namely Derwent Lightfast, Faber Castell Polychromos, Caran d' Ache Luminance and Caran d'Ache Pablo pencils. These pencils have very high lightfastness. This means that the change of colours under the influence of sunlight/UV radiation is very limited. No fixatives or other chemicals are added to this drawing because of its high lightfastness. To preserve the drawing, it is recommended to frame it behind museum glass.

How does it work?

Send me some photos of the animal or pet you would like to have portrayed by e-mail. Preferably choose a photo that shows the animal's character well. Together, we will then discuss which photo I will work from. The higher the resolution of the photo, the more detailed the drawing can be. I like to receive several photos of the animal. I use these as reference material when making the drawing. After we have chosen a photo, I like to receive a 25% deposit. This amount is still refundable until the agreed start date. The rest of the amount is payable before sending the drawing.

What are my prices?

The price for a drawing depends on the size and number of animals in the picture. If you have other ideas or wishes, please contact me.

The drawing takes up the vast majority of the paper size. Space is left at the edges for framing.

The drawing is delivered without passe-partout and without frame. As soon as the drawing is finished, I will contact you by e-mail and send you a picture of the drawing. If you are satisfied with the drawing and after payment of the remaining amount, I will send the drawing to you with advice on the best way to frame it. Of course, it is also possible to receive the drawing in person.

Where do I ship to?

I ship worldwide. The costs of shipping within the Netherlands are included in the price. When shipping abroad I will charge shipping costs.
