Custom watercolor and ink illustrations of architecture
How it works
1. Connect
The first step is for us to chat and discuss your project.
2. Send a Photo
You send a photo of your B&B, Inn, building or home.
3. Receive your Drawing
We create a hand-drawn line drawing and finally a watercolor and ink illustration.
4. Order High Quality, Customized Products
We create a digital version of your drawing and can create unique products (note cards, holiday cards, porcelain ornaments, matted prints, etc.) that are great for marketing or gifts or whatever you can dream up!
The Process
The original photo is used as reference. Objects, such as trees, cars, other obstructions are ignored.
A hand-drawn, ink-only drawing is made from the reference photo.
The ink drawing is colored with watercolors.

Pricing is based on both the project's scope and amount of detail on the building you want illustrated. A quote can be given based on an emailed photograph.

Timelines depend on the scope of the project, but I generally say 4 weeks. If there is a sooner deadline of an occasion or meeting to present the illustration, I normally can meet that deadline.
