Here's a house portrait I completed recently. The mat and frame are done in a digital art program. I did this 'mock-up' to show how it could look matted and framed. I always hate how scans or digital photos of my art look. I can never get a good clear picture of them.
This one is mixed media - it's mostly colored pencil, but the sky is scrapbooking chalk, which is basically a pastel. I love how it makes a soft sky.
The windows take a looong time to do. I also usually leave trees out of pictures if they block the house, but this one is right at the corner of the house, so I decided I should keep the tree rather than try to fake how the edges of the eaves look. I do house portraits (or portraits of business buildings and churches) in graphite pencil for about $250 each (depends a lot on the house) and colored/mixed media house portraits like this one for $400 each.

Hi Darla,
ReplyDeleteI Google my name, and surprise, surprise....I found myself in the Snellville Art Guild. Thank you so much for posting me with my Artwanted pictures. I started reading your BLOG, it is wonderful, how do you find the time to do so much. I want to help you with the Snellville Guild, I need to know what I can do? My husband did a 503C for his Georgia Rockets AAU basketball team many years ago, and he said he is willing to help you/us with getting it started. He did say it was expensive....
I am new at this blog thing, so I do hope you get this, and that I know when you respond......
If all fails you can reach my at Cannie@bellsouth.net.
