I spend hours taking care to capture every detail and characteristic. The end result is a one-of-a-kind portrait of you or your loved one, ready to frame and display. All my portraits are done on white, acid-free drawing paper using graphite drawing pencils. </em><br /><br /><em><u>About the Artist</u><br />I have been drawing portraits for over seven years. My formal art training consisted of oil, acrylic, pastel, and watercolor mediums, although pencil is my specialty. I have taught several art classes in the past, including Beginner’s Art and Advanced Portrait Drawing. </em><br /><br /><div align="center"><strong>Contact: April Wright</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>Phone: 360.798.3129</strong></div><div align="center"><strong>Email: <a href="mailto:aprilsartstudio@gmail.com">aprilsartstudio@gmail.com</a></strong></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/22622476-114046208526214261?l=aprilsartstudio-pricing.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Baby Wrightnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22622476.post-1140226401193197852006-02-17T17:27:00.000-08:002006-08-07T06:42:54.506-07:00<strong>How long will it take to get my portrait? </strong><br /><em>Depending on size and complexity, it will take between two to four weeks from first sending the photographs until receiving the final artwork. </em><br /><p><br /><strong>Do you offer portraits in color? </strong><br /><em>Certainly! See below chart for the prices of colored pencil portraits. </em></p><p><em></em><br /><strong>Why do you work from photographs?</strong><br /><em>My reason for choosing to work from photos lies mostly in the fact that small details are captured much better when working off of a still subject. It is also quite time-consuming to sit for a live portrait!</em><br /></p><p><br /><strong>Do you provide framing for your portraits?</strong><br /><em>No, I do not. Framed artwork is difficult to mail and could cause damage to the drawing itself. I spray each finished portrait with a protective sealant and then mail it in a hard tube to avoid bending or smudging. </em><br /><p><br /><strong>What kind of photographs make the best portrait?</strong><br /><em>Choosing the proper type of photo is crucial in ensuring a spectatular finished portrait. Preferrably, the photo should be as close to the subject as possible, with a well-lighted background and clear features. I can work off of old black-and-white photos as long as they are not obscured. You can send me as many photographs as you wish and I will look them over and let you know which will make the best portrait. </em></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'
