The Creative Process

Once you place your order, I plan towards a 4 to 6-week delivery date. It's good to know the closing date as well. Rush art, art that is needed sooner than one month may have rush fees.  

The Photograph

The Photograph

Step 1

The first step is getting in touch with me, either by the contact form on our contact page or simply by calling. I usually prefer the MLS listing sent to me before I go to photograph the house, to ensure I’m at the correct address. If you are out of state, I’ll need high-resolution images to work from.

Step 2

Once I have my photographs, I can discuss with you which angle you prefer and any other particulars. I begin the house illustration using digital painting, with brushes, and filters. The pixels are treated like wet paint on paper, by using digital brush techniques. Once I print out the art on fine art paper, I begin pen and ink directly on the art. Paint is next bringing out the flowers, shrubs and leaves.

Step 3

Framing the art is of course the last step. You may also have a preference here with what color and style frame you would like. I can email images with the art in the frames so you can make a final choice.
