How do you paint on feathers? | The process goes something like this: As soon as I obtain my feathers, I put them in the freezer to kill any mites that may damage the painting. When I receive a commission, I request a large, detailed reference photo and choose the feather(s) that best fit with the subject. I then use either acrylic or oil paints, gradually building accurate shading and detail. |
Do you accept commissions? Does it cost extra? | Yes! I gladly accept commissions. And no, I don't charge extra. Art is personal, so each wood-burning or feather painting should reflect the personality of the person who owns it. All I need is a good-quality, detailed photo to work off of (digital photos are great, and the larger the photo, the better). |
What is the process for commissioning a work of art? | Email me at the above link stating the type of work you're interested in (wood-burning or feather painting) and the subject. If there is a particular subject you'd like (i.e. your black lab), please attach a large, good-quality photo to your email. If you'd just like a generalized subject (i.e. a tom turkey), I can find my own reference. As soon as I receive your email, I will confirm your order with you so you know I've received it. I can then send you a quote and let you know approximately how much time I will need to complete it. If you need it by a certain date (for Christmas or a birthday), please let me know and I will do my best to get it to you on time. When I've completed the project, I will send you an email with a photo of the finished work attached. If it meets your approval, I will request payment and a mailing address. At this time, I only accept Paypal for non-local orders. |
How much do you charge for each wood-burning / feather painting? | Since each work of art is different, the prices vary depending on the size and the amount of detail, time and materials invested. I do, however, wish to keep my prices as reasonable as possible. If a work of art is available, I will have a price beneath it. If you'd like to commission a wood-burning or a feather painting, please contact me with your ideas and I'll send you an estimate (see link above). |
I have another question! Can I email you? | Definitely! I'm always willing to answer any questions you may have about my artwork, and I try to answer all emails in a timely manner. Please see the "Contact" link above. |
