Commission Portrait (people, pets) Pricing
I’d love to paint a portrait for you! Please email kandeanderson@gmail.com with your project ideas. Turn around time is usually about 3 months, but it can vary depending on the time of year. All commission work includes a photo session (in the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill area, additional travel costs beyond) but I can also paint from your photos if they have enough detail and good lighting. Send me an email with your ideas and budget, I’ll let you know what I can do! A general pricing guide is listed below, though there are many factors to consider.
I also make paintings or drawings of houses. These make great gifts and look fantastic in pen & ink with watercolor wash. Starting at $240 for an 8”x10”.
