Customization
Prices correspond to a portrait made from photographs provided by the client. Personalized elements can be added to tell a particular story around the portrait: animals, objects, flowers, specific clothing or accessories, a setting, a particular place, text or an inscription, symbolic elements, several different photographs combined into a single scene, or any other special request.
Requests requiring extra composition or drawing work are subject to a surcharge, communicated before the order is confirmed.
Examples of surcharges:
- Simple customization: from +25 €
- Elaborate setting or composition: from +55 €
- Particularly complex composition: custom quote
The exact price is communicated before the drawing begins.
Rush orders
The standard turnaround time is currently about 2 weeks. A request needing priority completion may be accepted depending on Anne's availability.
- Order with a turnaround under 2 weeks: +30%
- Particularly urgent order requiring priority completion: up to +50%, depending on the timeframe requested.
Rush orders can only be guaranteed after confirmation from Anne.
Shipping
Drawings are carefully protected and packaged so they can be given as a gift or kept in good condition. Shipping costs are charged separately and depend on the destination and the size of the drawing. In-person hand delivery in Paris can be arranged on request.
How to place an order?
To request a portrait, the client must provide:
- The desired size (A5, A4 or A3).
- The number of people to be drawn.
- Reference photographs — clear enough to show faces and features distinctly. Several photographs can be sent if the client wants to bring together people who don't appear in the same photo.
- Any customizations (setting, objects, animals, clothing, text, a particular composition, etc.).
- The date by which the drawing is needed (standard turnaround: about 2 weeks).
- The delivery address.
- If it's a gift, the client can mention the occasion so Anne can adapt the presentation or add a short note if relevant.
Good to know before ordering
Every drawing is hand-made. Portraits are individually drawn with alcohol markers and colored pencils on Bristol paper. This is not a print or digital reproduction.
The drawing is an artistic interpretation. Anne aims for a portrait that's true to the person while keeping her own drawing style. The result is therefore not a photographic reproduction.
Custom orders do not include unlimited revisions. Once the drawing has begun, major changes may require redoing part of the work and could therefore incur a surcharge. Special requests should ideally be specified before the drawing begins.
Photographs must be of good quality. The quality of the reference photographs directly affects the quality of the portrait. Anne may request other photographs if the ones provided don't allow her to draw it properly.
For special projects
For any request that doesn't fit this pricing grid — a large family, multiple drawings, an event, a corporate gift, a special artistic project, a bulk order, etc. — a custom quote can be provided.
