Commissioned Pet Portraits

Please read before purchasing!

There is a non-refundable 50% deposit for a commissioned painting.  Please select a few of your favorite pictures and either attach them to the Order Form or email them to ashton@emergecounselingart.com with any special requests or ideas you might have.  We will work together to assess if my style is a match for your vision.  I want to make sure that I am able to create a piece of art that you love and treasure forever!

​

Commission Process:

​​

Step 1: 

Submit the online order form below.  If you aren't sure what you want yet, don't worry!  This is just a rough idea for getting started.

​

Step 2:

I will reach out to chat with you about your vision and answer any questions you may have.  Typically we will decide on a picture that best capture's your pet's unique personality and determine any alterations (such as in style, color, background) that may be needed.

​

Step 3: 

​

You choose your medium and size, and if you are using cremains then we will determine the amount needed for the painting which you will mail in the next step.  I will give you a final cost and estimate of the time it will take to complete based on the size, media, and complexity.   

​

Here is a rough estimate of prices based on various sizes:

​

5x7" - $160

8x8" - $285

9x12" / 10x10" - $465

11x14" / 12x12" - $660

16x20" - $1,350

18x24" - $1,800

20x20" - $1,675

24x24" - $ 2,400

​

Step 4: 

I will collect the 50% non-refundable deposit via your preferred payment method. The deposit covers supplies and labor to create your piece. 

​

Step 5:

If we are incorporating cremains into the piece, you will mail them to the address below:

​

Ashton Sullivan

PO Box 788

Port Royal, SC 29935

​

Step 6:

I get to work! I'll send you photos of an initial sketch and color palette so that you can provide feedback.  You'll receive two more updates - at the halfway point and when the painting is nearing completion. You'll be able to provide feedback here, ask questions, and suggest minor updates. Commissions typically take 4-6 weeks to complete. I will let you know if your request is likely to take longer. This does not include the time to ship. 

​

Step 7:

Once you are completely happy with your artwork, I will send an invoice via email for the remaining 50% + shipping costs for larger artwork or international shipping. 

 

Step 8:

After the final invoice is paid, I will varnish your artwork to protect it for a nice long life! Then I will carefully package and ship your painting! You will receive tracking information once it is shipped. Some extra large paintings may need to ship un-stretched and rolled, especially if they are heading outside the US.
