Step-by-step Journey

From initial consultation to final delivery, typically 3-4 weeks

Initial Consultation

I provide you the special watercolor paper and we start with a conversation about your vision. Share with me about personality, interests, and what makes them special.

  • Receive watercolor paper
  • Discuss portrait preferences
  • Choose size and format
  • Review timeline and pricing

Step 1

Kid Creation and Handoff

Your little artist is free to create however they want: bold scribbles, careful drawings, wild colors, or delicate marks. Pure creative expression. Then you pass along their masterpiece to me along with a few reference photos and I take it from there. If there's any special requests we can talk about that too.

  • Submit your child's artwork
  • Provide 3-4 reference photos
  • Discuss special requests
  • Approve final concept

Step 2

Watercolor Painting

Once the concept is approved, I begin the watercolor painting process, carefully incorporating elements from your child's original artwork.

  • Layered watercolor technique
  • Integration of child's art elements
  • Attention to detail and personality
  • Progress updates provided

Step 3
