***Frame NOT included***

(I highly recommend my framer in Old Town if you would like to have your art custom framed: Victor at Art & Framing, 694 N St Asaph St, Alexandria, VA 22314 (same block as Trader Joe’s), (703) 837-9055)

PROCESS

• Purchase the painting commission.

• Email photo(s) of the home to laurelpm@blueroomstudio.com. Photos should be high resolution and contain the elements you would like to see in your final painting. Note I will be drawing directly from the photo so make sure the angle of the house is what you want painted. Please note anything you’d like deleted from the photo or if you want anything added (I’ve added pets for instance). Other buildings and nearby people will not be included.

• Preliminary proof: Loose watercolor sketch based on your photo so you can approve cropping in the size you select and to ensure all elements that you want included are in place. This is the step where any changes need to be flagged. Watercolor is a wonderful but unforgiving medium and changes after painting has started are difficult.

• Final painting proof: You will receive a digital proof of the final painting before shipping.

• Watercolor is carefully packaged and mailed in a thick cardboard envelop.

Timing: Please allow 4 weeks for your original artwork.
