from $160.00
PERFECT GIFT!
Are you looking for a gift for a loved one? Or you want to get something really unique and original for your parents, work colleague or best friend?
Let me tell you about my custom hand-made portraits! You will get a lovely and unique realistic hand-drawn artwork drawn from your photos using coloured pencils.

I will draw a beautiful, realistic portrait of SOMEONE SPECIAL in coloured pencils on lovely thick paper, and coat it with a light spray varnish. I need good photos for this, so grab your camera and take some gorgeous shots, or dig up those old favourites that disappeared deep in your phone.


HOW TO ORDER?
Send me your best photos via Etsy or email paintedbeak@outlook.com. Tell me which option you want, and when you want it by.


** SORRY ABOUT THE LACK OF RECENT PHOTOS **
Please note that the blurry photos in my gallery on this page are from 2009-2010, and the quality of my flip-phone camera was awful compared to today's phone cameras. All these portraits sold at my first exhibition so I don't have any more recent photos either, but hopefully they are clear enough that you can see that I was good at portraits even then. in the past 10 years, I have only improved more, having since completed a Diploma of Fine Art, exhibited twice, and have run my art business going on 3 years, and spent the whole COVID lockdown at my desk painting. I pride myself in realism, so if you would like an artwork of anyone done for you, please let me do it, so I can have some new pictures to add to my repertoire!! <3<3 It benefits me greatly for them to look perfect, so you can rest assured that I am motivated to do the best job I possibly can! Thank you!!! :)


HOW IS IT MADE?
1. I'll edit the image in photoshop if required.
2. Image proportions are transferred onto the drawing paper using a lightbox and lead pencil.
3. Major colour sections are applied with a light watercolour wash.
4. Once dry, lead pencil lines are erased.
6. Coloured pencil layers are applied lightly, and blended with solvent, a brush and a blending stump, then allowed to dry.
7. More layers are added until the perfect colour is achieved.
8. Final textures are applied and burnished.
9. A high-quality photo is taken (Nikon D3500 18-55mm), which I can send to you.
9. 1-3 coats of gloss spray varnish are applied lightly to seal the surface of the paper, ensuring the colours remain vibrant over time, and nothing is smudged or dulled in transit :)
10. Then I will pack it flat with lightweight foamcore board and cellophane wrap to keep it protected for direct post or hand-delivery and you get to keep it! :)
