How it works...
Step One: Reserve Your Spot
When you are ready to book, just click on the "Book Now" button and secure your spot with a $100 non-refundable deposit. By accepting your commission, I reserve dedicated time exclusively for you and turn away other opportunities to ensure my full commitment to your project. For this reason, the deposit is non-refundable.
Step 2: Send me your reference photo
Once you have reserved your spot, email me your reference photo at yael@goodeyefineart.com
What makes a good reference photo?
The best reference photos are at eye level with the pet, and in digital, high-resolution format where the pet’s eyes can be clearly seen as well as the details of fur texture and direction of growth. Of course I realize that many people do not have the highest quality photos of their pets, and some pet portraits are memorials where a high resolution photo may be impossible to obtain. That’s ok! I can work from any reference photo. Send me your favorite photo and we'll go from there!

Step Three: The Mock-Up
Once I have received your reference photo, I will get back to you within 2-3 days with a basic basic mock-up of your photo and your desired background color options based on the preferences that you indicated at booking. The purpose of the mock-up is to help you visualize the overall composition so that you can easily choose which will best complement your space.

Step Four: Full Payment
When you have approved the mock-up, the remaining balance is due. Invoices can be paid online via credit/debit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, or with a Good Eye Fine Art gift card.
Step Five: It's pastel painting time!
After payment is received, I will begin your painting.
I use only professional quality soft pastels and archival
paper to create your meaningful and unique artwork.
Step Six: Completion and Mailing
Upon completion, I will email you a photo of the finished portrait. Your artwork will be packaged protectively and mailed off promptly during the time frame you selected.
Postage
-
A flat rate of $50 will be added to the final invoice to cover the costs of shipping and insurance via USPS Priority Mail (estimated arrival in 2-3 business days) within the continental USA. For postage outside the continental USA, I will send you a quote which will be added to the final balance.
I am happy to help clarify anything you may want to know about my artistic process and booking a portrait. Please visit my FAQ for the most requested information. If you don't see what you are looking for, send me an email and I'll get right back to you!
