A pet portrait captures the personality of your special companion in a beautiful piece of artwork. With an original, life-like portrait of your pet, you will remember that moment or expression forever. It makes a wonderful gift that will be treasured always.

I work from photographs to create each hand-drawn pet portrait. My style is very detailed and realistic, and I work hard to capture the spirit and individuality of your pet.

Choosing your photo(s):

Your pet must be in the pose you would like drawn, and your photo must be clear and sharp, especially of the face. Please keep in mind that the quality of your portrait depends heavily on the quality of your photos. The better the photo, the more detailed your portrait will be. I also request additional photos of your pet for reference.

If you have a few good photos and cannot decide which one to use, I can certainly give you some advice. If you have more than one pet in separate photos, I can put them together into one portrait.

Ordering:

A 50% non-refundable deposit is required to reserve your spot on my waiting list. Once you are on the waiting list, it should take about 3-5 months before your portrait is complete, but this will depend on the number of orders that I have. While you are waiting, I urge you to track your portrait’s progress on my blog. I will not require full payment until your portrait is finished and you are completely satisfied.

Once your portrait is complete and ready for delivery, I will require the final payment, plus shipping fees (if applicable) before I send your package. Please see delivery information below.

Prints and Cards:

You will have the opportunity to purchase prints or greeting cards of your portrait if you wish. If you order these before I ship your original drawing, there will be no extra shipping charge since I can ship them in the same package.

Payment: 

PayPal is the preferred method of payment for all non-local commissions. For local commissions, I will accept cash or cheque. Cheques are to be made out to Heather Page.

Delivery:

**Heather Page Studios currently ships worldwide.

Your portrait will be shipped using Canada Post - XpressPost. It will be insured for the value of the portrait and includes delivery confirmation and tracking. The shipping costs (if applicable) will be added to your purchase price and your portrait will be mailed after I have received full payment. I can give you an estimate when you order, but I won't know the exact shipping price until the package is ready for delivery.

If you would prefer to pick up your portrait in person, we can arrange a meeting.

Care of your portrait:

Once you have received your portrait, it is wise to have it framed as soon as possible. I highly recommend that you have your artwork professionally framed.  Store-bought frames may not contain acid-free materials, which are crucial for preventing deterioration of the drawing. 

Your artwork comes unframed so that you may choose a frame that matches your own individual style.

Copyright:

As the artist I retain full rights to all of my artwork, including reproduction copyright. Commissioned artwork may not be reproduced or used for financial gain without my written permission. As a courtesy to my clients, I will not use a portrait for prints or licensing unless I have the owner's permission. I reserve the right to use my artwork for promotional purposes. If you would prefer that I do not display your portrait on my website, I will need a written request.

If, for any reason, the client decides not to purchase the finished, commissioned piece, I reserve the right to reproduce and sell the original artwork.

Please contact me if you would like a quote or if you have any questions. By inquiring, you are under no obligations and I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
