Day 1:
​
I draw the basic shapes of the painting and then use acrylic gesso to prep the surface of the wood.
I then redraw the portrait in more detail over the gesso.
​
This process takes roughly 2-3 hours total
I get my wood from a local supplier, supporting local businesses as well as reducing my carbon footprint.
​
My grandad then sands the wood down ready for me to paint on, so it's very much a family involved business!
Day 2:
​
Painting!
​
The painting process can take 5-7 hours depending on the level of complexity of the commission.
​
I use acrylic paint for all my portraits.
​
​
I then use a black fine liner to write the pet's name and my initials.
Day 3:
​
The last step of the process is varnishing.
​
I apply 3 layers of high gloss varnish, 1 layer applied every 3 hours.
​
This takes 9 hours in total.
​
Gift Wrapping!
​
For my gift wrapping option, I trim and hot glue my boxes by hand.
​
Both the box and packaging materials are recyclable and ecofriendly
(even the stickers!)
