A keepsake or/and a wonderful gift, a head & shoulders portrait is something to be treasured.
The original artwork is created mainly in graphite pencil, with some pen & ink for contrast and then the eyes are lightly coloured.
The basic size for a single portrait is 9" X 7'' , starting at $160 Cdn.
For this size only, an acid free mat and backing can also be supplied ($27) so the artwork will fit into a standard 14" X 11 " frame. (not supplied)
A size of your choice can also be accommodated, and more than one person portrayed - as shown below
Photograph(s) of good quality and resolution , of the head and shoulders , are required.

The client supplied this great photo of her son, with best friend McCoosh, that was a pleasure to work from.
