Alexandra Schmeling Fine Art - Custom Watercolor Pet Portrait

This kit provides the recipient with all the instructions to order a custom pet portrait. You will receive a pen and watercolor portrait on watercolor paper.

Instructions:

1. The customer purchases this kit (4x6, 5x7 or 8x10 in).
2. The customer (or gift recipient) follows the instructions inside to contact Alexandra (the artist) with their name, address, pet photo, and any special requests (i.e. do not include collar).
3. Alexandra creates a pet portrait and ships it directly to the recipient at no further charge. The turnaround time is 2 weeks to ship the painting. It is shipped via USPS Ground Advantage which usually takes 2-5 days domestically. This is valid for a portrait of one pet with no background.

Meet the Maker:

My name is Alex and I am a watercolor artist living in Arlington, Virginia just outside of DC. I studied photography at Yale and am self-taught as a watercolor artist. I offer original watercolor paintings of local scenes from around my area as well as from my travels. France tends to show up a lot in my work! I also offer commissioned pet and house portraits. My business actually got its start creating pet portraits as a fundraiser for local animal shelters. Who doesn’t want to spend their time looking at cute animals while helping out our furry friends? A couple hundred pet portraits later, I am still painting pet portraits, this time as a small business.
