Much Love Danni 【ツ】!!!

 

Yes, I send all my clients a preview beforehand to make sure you’re 110% happy with your portrait.

For the best results I would need a “High Resolution” photo. A photo that has been taken say at a wedding by a professional photographer. Or the original photo you have taken via your mobile phone as now a days the picture quality is fantastic via these devices.

High resolution allows me to see the tiniest details down to each eyelash and makes for an amazingly detailed recreation!

Including this if possible the picture should not be blurred I can only recreate what I can see. If I can not see the detailing I can not recreate it !

No, adding words or text is free.

You do, I hold no copyright or contractual rights on any of the artwork that I recreate for my clients, they will be your property to keep and enjoy.

All canvases will be treated so they do not crack, peel or fade over time. Which is included *FREE* as part of my service I offer and needs to be sent to a specialist company my end as obviously I do not hold these specialised chemicals or application equipment in my home, average lead time 1-2 days. 

Never use any chemical cleaners to clean your canvas.
You can gently wipe the dust off with a clean, soft, dry cloth.

Heavy traffic areas : 
Gently wipe dust off with a lightly dampened clean cloth.
Do not rub the canvas too hard or continuously in the same areas because you could damage the protective coating and the paint.
